The 21st-Century Skills Gap
 (ASK) Attitude, Skills and Knowledge are the driving forces of
economic growth and social development for any country.
 Presently, the country faces a demand – supply mismatch, as the
economy needs more ‘skilled’ workforce than that is available.
 In this globally and digitally interconnected world, all learners,
from cradle to career, need new skills and knowledge to succeed.
 If we want to prepare our students for success in college, work
and life, opportunities to learn 21st-century skills are essential.
