UNDERSTANDING GLOBAL SKILLS FOR 21ST CENTURY PR...

This book highlights the increasing need for people who will be working in professions such as
teaching  health  engineering and business management to have the skills for living and working
in a global society. Globalisation and the challenges resulting from recent political events in
Europe and North America have given rise to a need for training and further and higher
education programmes to address the skills young people all need to effectively engage in the
current global society. Reviewing the range of theories and debates surrounding skills for the
twenty-first century  the author suggests there is a need to directly address the real-world
issues of today and move beyond abstract concepts such as team work  critical thinking and
problem solving  as important as these concepts are. The author proposes a new framework for
global skills using examples from international and national policy-makers and evidence from
further and higher educational programmes and training courses. This pioneering yet practical
book will be of value to students and scholars of global education as well as practitioners and
policy makers.
