Key stories that have been inferred out of the WEF data

​

​

  • Growth in specialised skill high paying work

​

  • Job families like engineering and management and sales will grow BUT the areas will be in digital technology design and big data analysis/use rather than the traditional areas of focus

​

  • Women and low skilled workers will be disadvantaged

​

  • The need for skilled workers from diverse perspectives will be highly desirable

Curriculum Review through the Learning Areas

Review questions you may consider for your school community

  • How well does our school's curriculum reflect the essential nature of each learning area?
  • Do our programmes meet the needs and interests of our students?
  • How does our curriculum enable students to explore relationships of knowledge across learning areas?
  • Do we make connections across learning areas, values, and key competencies?
  • Do we have a rationale and structure for covering learning area strands and selecting achievement objectives?

​

Take home messages…

  • It really matters for our learners to understand and work with digital technologies – in very real terms this is their future

​

  • It is vital that a diverse range of learners are engaged in building our digital technology capabilities – we need a variety of perspectives to innovate and to truly design for usability

​

  • Local curriculum review – start by asking the questions – listen to the answers and build from there.
