These are just some of the questions tackled by OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation in its multidisciplinary activities.

A professor of a well-known business school in Spain once remarked that the one thing people forget to do in a crisis is “think”. He could have added “think innovatively”. For 40 years, that is precisely what OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) has been doing: helping educators and policymakers think and so better tackle challenges and prepare for the future.

Education is influenced by the world we live in. The new OECD book "Trends Shaping Education" looks at specific impacts on schooling of things happening elsewhere in our lives, from climate change and the growth of the Internet to changing lifestyles and family structures. Does the diversification of family forms mean a changing balance of responsibilities between the school and the home? And what is the impact on schooling of other phenomena, from the rise of obesity to the spread of mobile phones?

Adults with low skills in language, literacy and numeracy are numerous in many OECD countries. The consequences of these low foundation skills span the economic, health and social well-being of individuals, families and communities. Investment in this sector of adult education is therefore crucial. A new OECD report looks specifically inside the programmes for these adult learners, with a focus on formative assessment.

The last two decades have seen a significant growth in the mobility of higher education programmes and providers through physical and virtual modes of delivery.
