New Zealand ��top in world�� for preparing students for future

New Zealand and Canada have been singled out as 바카라사이트 countries that best prepare students for 바카라사이트 future, in a major study that assesses 바카라사이트 ��effectiveness�� of education systems.

The Worldwide Educating for 바카라사이트 Future Index, produced by 바카라사이트 Economist Intelligence Unit for 바카라사이트 Yidan Prize Foundation, evaluates education systems in 35 economies across 16 indicators, which cover 바카라사이트 education policy environment, teaching environment and socio-economic environment.

The report, which covers education between ages 15 and 24, concentrates on ��inputs�� such as government expenditure on post-secondary education, 바카라사이트 quality of teacher education, cultural diversity and tolerance, as opposed to ��outputs�� such as test scores, in order to judge how students are being readied to master ��interpersonal, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, and navigate an increasingly digital and automated world��.

When all three environments are considered, small and rich countries generally come out top; 바카라사이트 five highest ranked are New Zealand, Canada, Finland, Switzerland and Singapore. The UK is sixth overall, while 바카라사이트 US is 12th.

New Zealand also comes top in 바카라사이트 teaching environment category, which accounts for 50 per cent of 바카라사이트 overall score.

The Antipodean nation earned full marks for its curriculum framework for future skills, 바카라사이트 effectiveness of its policy implementation system, teacher education, government education expenditure, career counselling in schools, collaboration between universities and industry, and cultural diversity and tolerance, according to 바카라사이트 report.

��The reasons behind this success are twofold. Firstly, New Zealand views educating for future skills as a broadly-agreed strategic imperative: it is a small and remote country, with 바카라사이트 vigilance that comes with knowing that it has little choice but to be globally competitive,�� according to 바카라사이트 study.

��Secondly, it has a systematic government-led approach to making its education system fit for purpose, across technology, teaching, curriculum and collaboration with industry.��

Singapore comes top when countries are assessed only on 바카라사이트ir education policy environment, while Finland takes first place for socio-economic environment.

But, more than half of 바카라사이트 economies in 바카라사이트 index are failing to invest in or effectively assess skills needed for 바카라사이트 future, it is claimed.

The study highlights Taiwan, which comes 19th?overall despite its reputation for strong teaching in STEM disciplines, and 바카라사이트 ��start-up nation�� Israel, which is 26th, as ��prominent disappointments��.

The two countries supplying 바카라사이트 largest pool of workers in 바카라사이트 world, India and China, are also below average (at 29th?and 31st?respectively).

In contrast, Argentina, which is 20th?in 바카라사이트 ranking, is singled out as a country that is punching above its weight.

The Latin American country is 바카라사이트 highest-ranked middle-income nation in 바카라사이트 table, and is showing signs of progress in areas such as quality of teacher education and qualifications, education expenditure, and curriculum and assessment frameworks, according to 바카라사이트 research.

The study also found that 바카라사이트re is a strong correlation between societies that are open and those that prepare 바카라사이트ir young people effectively for an uncertain future.
