IMPLEMENTING DEEPER LEARNING AND 21ST CENTURY E...

This open access book is a comparative analysis of recent large scale education reforms that
broadened curriculum goals to better prepare students for the 21st century. The book examines
what governments actually do when they broaden curriculum goals  with attention to the details
of implementation. To this end  the book examines system level reforms in six countries at
various levels of development. The study includes system level reforms in jurisdictions where
students achieve high levels in international assessments of basic literacies  such as
Singapore and Ontario  Canada  as well as in nations where students achieve much lower levels 
such as Kenya  Mexico  Punjab-Pakistan and Zimbabwe. The chapters examine system-level reforms
that focus on strengthening the capacity to teach the basics  as in Ontario and Pakistan  as
well as reforms that aim at building the capacity to teach a much broader set of competencies
and skills  such as Kenya  Mexico  Singapore and Zimbabwe. The volume includes systems at very
different levels of spending per student and reforms at various points in the cycle of policy
implementation  some just starting  some struggling to survive a governmental transition  and
others that have been in place for an extended period of time. From the comparative study of
these reforms  we aim to provide an understanding of how to build the capacity of education
systems to teach 21st century skills at scale in diverse settings.
