This framework explores the skills learners need to thrive across education, work, and civic life in a rapidly changing world. Drawing on insights from high-performing systems around the globe, it offers a holistic view of learning that extends beyond academic preparation to include personal well-being, ethical engagement, and lifelong adaptability.

These capabilities are organized into four broad, interconnected skill areas, intended not as a definitive list, but as a springboard for reflection, dialogue, and action.

  • Core Skills: The core academic foundation and interdisciplinary fluency to solve complex problems and apply learning in new contexts
  • Contemporary Skills: Skills that provide the foundation for success across a lifetime of professional and technological evolutions
  • Habits of Learning and Well-Being: The mindsets and practices that support long-life learning, personal fulfillment, and well-being
  • Community Skills: Skills to engage responsibly, ethically, and empathetically in the civic and social life of communities and the world at large
