This policy brief underlines the education, primary healthcare, nutrition, children’s rights, social cohesion, equality and other aspects that contribute to the education and care system are often grounded in different, and not necessarily matching, conceptualisations, understandings, terminologies and accepted practices.
This policy brief underlines that to build the workforce of the future and diminish future inequalities within and among countries, educational systems must close the education-workforce divide.
This proposal is for a corrective to dynamic but exclusionary ‘elite’ entrepreneurial/technological ecosystems (globalized centres such as Silicon Valley and London City). The proposal is the creation of an inclusive Social Ecosystem Model (SEM) that links ‘working, living and learning’ as the new and expanded parameters of skills formation in a digital age.
The scope of the policy brief is to provide recommendations to bridge the gap between schooling, learning and employability at a global scale.
