Habilidades para un Mundo Cambiante (Resumen Ejecutivo: Perspectivas Nacionales y Movimiento Mundial)

The Brookings Institution cuya sede se encuentra en Washington, DC, es una organización sin fines de lucro que se dedica a la investigación y solución en materia de políticas públicas. Con este fin, su Centro para la Educación Universal realizó el estudio Habilidades para un Mundo Cambiante, en el que participaron cuatro países: Kenia, Filipinas, México y Sudáfrica. La inclusión de estos cuatro países se debe a que recientemente han extendido los años de la educación obligatoria o, bien, a que en sus currículos se han incorporado las “habilidades del siglo XXI”.

El proyecto consistió, básicamente, en entrevistar a padres de familia, miembros de la comunidad, docentes, formadores de maestros y personal del ámbito de la administración educativa que respondieron a dos preguntas: 1) ¿cuáles son las habilidades que se asocian con una persona exitosa? y 2) ¿cuáles son las habilidades importantes que deben desarrollar los niños y los estudiantes?

This Skills for a Changing World: National Perspectives and the Global Movement report summarizes country-level responses based on a public scan of education systems and discusses country-level stakeholder views on the skills students need for today and tomorrow in four countries: Mexico, South Africa, Kenya, and the Philippines. Although there is consistency worldwide in views about the skills and characteristics the youth of today need for the future, countries vary greatly in implementing new approaches to education. In addition, specific country conditions influence stakeholder perceptions of how education systems are responding and providing for future generations.

The Competitiveness Lab’s Insight Report of January 2015, 'Bridging the Skills and Innovation Gap to Boost Productivity in Latin America', was well received, and the Forum was encouraged to continue with a second phase that moved beyond diagnosis and into action. The Lab’s Phase II, a country-level initiative, debuted in Colombia in 2015 and Mexico in 2016, with multi-stakeholder workshops prioritizing the Insight Report’s recommendations and identifying which one recommendation could successfully be promoted through public-private collaboration. While the World Economic Forum believes that making progress in competitiveness requires sound diagnosis and detailed analysis, it demands, above all, multi-stakeholder collaboration. Garnering efforts from relevant private- and public-sector entities and agencies in specific projects is one way to design actionable and impactful initiatives to close the gaps.

This report presents the Colombia Competitiveness Lab in detail, and a summary of the Mexico Lab, which is published in Spanish as a companion report. Both plans have been incorporated into the respective competitiveness agendas under steering board-member leadership. The Forum looks forward to implementing the jointly developed work plan and collaborating in the future with Colombia and Mexico, as well as other Latin American countries, within the Competitiveness Lab model.
