With the emergence of information and communications technologies (ICT) and the emphasis on fostering these skills through education, what will happen to the traditional core classes (such as math, history, arts, literature, etc.)? Will there be consequences in the focus on 21st century skills?
It seems as though the implementation of 21st century competences in the curriculum requires a lot of active assistance or collaboration with various sectors. As education policies change to adapt to 21st century needs, how does a country or an institution able to effective enhance students’ 21st century skills if these sectors are unable or unwilling to actively participate? How could education policies ensure that necessary skills are taught to students without risking their education from the uncertainty of other sectors?
