<title><![CDATA[What should students learn in the 21st century? ]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[By Charles Fadel - Founder & chairman, Center for Curriculum Redesign 
It has become clear that teaching skills requires answering “What should students learn in the 21st century?” on a deep and broad basis. Teachers need to have the time and flexibility to develop knowledge, skills, and character, while also considering the meta-layer/fourth dimension that includes learning how to learn, interdisciplinarity, and personalisation.

<title><![CDATA[Untapped Skills: Realising the Potential of Immigrant Students]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[A country’s success in integrating immigrants’ children is a key benchmark of the efficacy of social policy in general and education policy in particular. The variance in performance gaps between immigrant and non-immigrant students across countries, even after adjusting for socio-economic background, suggests that policy has an important role to play in eliminating such gaps.
