CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES
Global competitiveness and capacity planning for a futuristic smart city workforce can only be achieved by addressing challenges head on in the Edtech space which is expected to reach $230 billion by 2028. The 2030 OECD Learning Framework insists on a new set of broader guiding principles in terms of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values in action.
The biggest challenges tormenting the industry today are to develop innovative educational curriculums & creative academic and practical programs that can empower the next generation to be creators of a very resilient future.
Be it design innovation experts, backend coders, web 3.0 specialists, Net Zero experts, empathy advocates etc., the workforce requirement post 2030 will be very different from what we see in 2023. At the same time, educationists need to also be relevant beyond 2030. Be a part of the initiative that bridges the skills and talent gap across different industry verticals.
