The Future of Learning: Preparing for change.

In order to remain competitve, a transformation in education as well as in training is needed. (Europe 2020 strategy). The objective of the study enfasizes on education and training and how to prepare learners for life in the future society, foreseeing competences that will be relevant and how to aquire them. The study involves identifying and understanding learning strategies and trajectories and how they are expected to change, giving a future vision and also outlining on how future learning opportunities should be developed.

The major challenges for the future of learning are, Mulitcultural integration, reduction of early school leaving, promotion of talent, a more fluent transition between work and education, easier re-entrance to the labour market, and focussing on permanent re-skillings so individuals can keep their competences updated and to adjust to quick changing work environments.

The key question for this reasearch was, “What will learning look like in the future?”

This report has been divided in two parts, development of a vision of the future of learning and future challenges for education and training. Each individual should be able to develop their talents to the best and promote their own well-being, as well as that of society that they live in as citizens. This shows the importance of future learning and how we should be prepared for change. The final report on this investigation can be found at the project website.
