Coordinating University : University of Ioannina, Greece
Partner Organizations:
Ambitions for education are captured in Sustainable Development Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. In a globalized and multicultural economy and society, young people’s horizons are not broad enough to operate accordingly. Challenges, such as the rapid technological advancements and new patterns of work have created a number of demands on education, making the inculcation of 21st century skills a necessity. Those skills need to be integrated in the teacher educational programs in order for the teachers to be effective in the 21st century.
The educational curriculum seems to not successfully match with the 21st century skills requirements.
