Skills
Dossier description
Skills cover the ability to apply knowledge and use knowhow to execute tasks and solve problems. In the future creativity, the ability to think laterally and adaptability will become more important than knowledge that is transferred traditionally to students through schools. Teaching a combination of the right knowledge, skills and competences is a responsibility of individuals, governments and businesses.
