The document summarizes the results of the Global Education Futures Kazan forum held in May 2015 in Kazan, Russia. Over 90 participants from 33 countries representing business, education, and government convened to explore future skills needs and education solutions. Through innovative methods, the group created 4 "maps of the future" outlining skills for major economic sectors. The forum was held in conjunction with the WorldSkills competition in Kazan, which had over 500 contestants. It aimed to develop a shared vision of future skills and education formats to support changing skill demands, as well as ideas to innovatively develop skills within the WorldSkills movement.

Key
processes
that
shape
future
of
manufacturing
• Automa6on
of
manufacturing
–
a
robust
trend
that
leads
towards
wide
spreading
of
cyber-­‐physical
manufacturing
systems
(involving
industrial
robo0cs,
automated
sensory
systems,
and
self-­‐adap0ve
ar0ficial
intelligence)
that
will
be
fully
autonomous.
Massive
use
of
machine-­‐machine
communica6on
(supported
by
digitaliza6on
of
manufacturing
processes)
will
be
required
to
coordinate
industrial
logis0cs
and
control
produc0on
within
and
between
such
manufacturing
systems.
Human
operators
will
be
high-­‐skilled
produc0on
experts,
and
in
10-­‐15
years
they
will
control
manufacturing
processes
via
brain-­‐machine
interfaces
(even
before
that,
human-­‐
machine
interfaces
will
con0nue
to
develop
to
allow
greater
flexibility
and
larger
set
of
tools
to
cope
with
unpredictable
situa0ons)
• Growth
of
customized
manufacturing,
supported
by
wide
use
of
3D
prin6ng
technologies,
will
allow
for
increasingly
personalized
manufacturing.
Co-­‐design
between
engineers
&
customers
will
gradually
dominate
manufacturing,
and
will
be
supported
by
BigData
analysis
that
will
allow
to
predict
poten0ally
successful
designs.
Applica6on
of
new
materials
(including
electrically
ac0ve
materials)
will
become
an
enabler
of
wide
use
of
3D
prin0ng
(including
mul0-­‐material
prin0ng).
‘Material
shredding’
technology
may
become
a
possible
solu0on
to
localized
recycling
that
will
allow
to
break
worn
objects
for
re-­‐use.
In
the
view
of
the
wave
to
transforma0ons
brought
by
3D
prin0ng
into
economy
&
society,
governments
will
introduce
a
set
of
regula0ons
for
this
new
prac0ce
(alike
to
‘traffic
code’,
and
possibly
accompanied
by
‘3D-­‐printer
license’).

12. 12
Key
processes
that
shape
future
of
services
• Digitaliza6on
of
human
life
is
a
strong
trend
in
the
majority
of
service
sectors
(e.g.
transporta0on,
finance,
retail,
healthcare,
etc.),
coupled
with
the
growth
of
personal
data.
It
allows
to
achieve
personaliza0on
of
services
on
mass
scale
(including
provision
of
personalized
assistance
&
personalized
security
to
virtually
every
member
of
the
society).
Digital
‘avatars’
(simula0ons
of
personal
behavior)
will
allow
to
predict
poten0ally
beneficial
&
risky
strategies
for
personal
health,
learning,
entertaining
etc.
• Digitaliza0on
allows
to
remove
layers
of
intermediaries,
thus
making
provision
of
services
more
efficient
in
economic
and
environmental
terms.
In
par0cular,
it
helps
give
boost
to
sharing
economy
(including,
in
par0cular,
sharing
of
transporta0on)
• Personal
does
not
deny
social:
increasing
connec6vity
helps
rise
of
network-­‐based
communi0es
of
interest,
including
social
networks
that
support
self-­‐guided
personal
development,
and
family
universi0es
that
support
inter-­‐genera0onal
community
learning.
In
15-­‐20
years,
many
professional,
hobbist,
gaming
and
personal
development
communi0es
may
converge
to
become
‘communi0es
of
being’
(olen
built
around
shared
‘playing’
prac0ces)
• Among
the
major
risks
of
this
scenario
is
that
omnipresent
informa0on
technologies
may
become
increasingly
‘toxic’
to
human
physical,
mental
&
social
health,
including
friendship
&
family
(as
manifested
by
recently
emerged
phenomenon
of
‘nocializing’,
spending
all
0me
on
mobile
device
while
in
company
of
other
people
and
in
public
places).
Prac0ces
dealing
with
nega0ve
effects
of
ICT,
including
aCen0on
management,
brain
fitness
to
keep
cogni0ve
func0on,
and
ul0mately
‘informa0on
hygiene’,
should
become
literacies
of
the
future.

Key
processes
that
shape
future
of
urban
sustainable
living
• Urbaniza6on
is
a
dominant
trend
in
the
global
agenda
that
shaped
the
focus
of
discussion
of
this
group.
Within
next
decade,
the
agenda
of
urbaniza0on
will
become
increasingly
dominated
by
theme
of
megaci0es,
especially
due
to
city
growth
in
Asian
&
emerging
economies.
• ‘Greening’
of
living
is
another
very
robust
trend
that
sets
new
standards
of
city
construc0ons,
transport
&
equipment
(3R:
reduce-­‐reuse-­‐recycle),
and
gradual
phasing
out
of
non-­‐electric
transport.
Urban
farming
may
become
a
wide
spread
prac0ce
that,
in
addi0on
to
shortening
the
supply
chain
in
food
industry,
will
also
contribute
to
urban
greening.
• Increased
connec0vity
will
lead
to
blending
of
virtual
&
real
in
all
urban
prac0ces:
every
object
in
the
city
will
be
connected
to
the
Internet
of
Things
(including
smart
energy
grids
&
u0li0es,
city
transporta0on,
city
lights,
security
systems,
and
smart
houses).
Spreading
of
augmented
reality
will
allow
for
mul0ple
use
/
upgrade
of
city
spaces
(esp.
public
spaces)
without
rebuilding
them.
Connec0vity
will
call
in
for
new
urban
habits,
including
‘informa0on
hygiene’
which
may
require
highly
limited
use
of
connected
devices
in
‘family
0me’
• Ageing
of
popula6on
across
the
world
will
affect
all
aspects
of
our
living,
including
composi0on
of
the
workforce.
It
will
lead
to
the
increased
demand
for
prac0ces
of
healthier
living,
including
healthy
food,
fitness

The

is
flawed
by
design:
it
prepares
people
for
skills
of
the
past,
not
skills
of
the

• We
cannot
teach
people
to
be
crea0ve
by
giving
them
standard
tasks
• We
cannot
teach
people
to
be
collabora0ve
by
puxng
them
in
compe00on
against
each
other
• We
cannot
teach
people
to
be
lifelong
learners
if
we
deprive
them
of
self-­‐
explora0on
and
courage
to
learn,
if
we
blame
them
for
mistakes
• We
cannot
teach
people
to
be
empathic
/
emo0onally
intelligent
by
removing
emo0on
and
focusing
on
cogni0ve
abili0es
only
• We
cannot
teach
people
to
use
IT
properly
if
we
remove
it
from
the
school
• We
cannot
teach
people
to
be
mindful
if
we
are
not
mindful

Key
processes
that
shape
future
of
professional
educa6on
&
training
• Life
cycle
of
technologies
is
shortening
in
almost
any
industries,
and
that
makes
many
skills
obtained
during
‘long’
educa0on
cycle
(e.g.
university
degree)
increasingly
irrelevant
–
which
may
require
differen0a0on
of
degrees
&
cer0ficates
to
help
cover
more
skills
(and
dis0nguish
between
‘fundamental’
and
‘professional’
educa0on).
• Reduc0on
of
skills
gap
can
be
obtained
through
wide
applica0on
of
prac6ce-­‐oriented
learning
/
learning
by
doing.
Elements
of
dual
educa0on
systems
can
be
gradually
implemented
across
the
world,
including
on-­‐job
training
for
students,
prac00oners
teaching
at
school
and
university
level,
and
independent
assessment
centers
(incl.
companies
&
corporate
universi0es)
that
can
award
degrees
based
on
demonstrated
skill
(this
may
also
give
rise
to
‘creden0al
market’).
• New
technologies
are
olen
more
sophis0cated
and
expensive,
crea0ng
‘technology
gap’
within
and
between
na0ons
–
which
can
be
covered
with
help
of
maker
movement
and
networks
(incl.
peer-­‐to-­‐peer)
that
help
teach
technology
to
anyone
interested.
Augmented
reality
plaJorms
can
be
used
to
reduce
cost
of
training.
• In
a
more
distant
perspec0ve,
skill
training
&
assessment
of
teams
&
individuals
can
be
accomplished
in
real
0me
by
Ar0ficial
Intelligence
‘observers’
that
will
replace
human
observers.
Such
‘observers’
can
also
act
as
virtual
tutors
that
provide
feedback
&
help
create
beNer
skill.

24. 24
• Game-­‐based
educa6on
for
all
ages
&
stages
of
educa6on
helps
mo0vate
people
for
skill
training
and
keep
them
engaged
in
the
process.
Various
edutainment
formats
(e.g.
Kaizen
park
with
Disney-­‐like
experience
to
try
different
professions,
such
as
‘Masterville’
in
Russia)
will
help
to
create
mo0va0on.
Training
can
be
conducted
in
mul0-­‐user
gaming
environments
(specially
designed
as
well
as
generic
gaming
universes),
with
real
&
virtual
tutors
using
augmented
reality
to
develop
real
skills
• Growth
of
new
providers,
enhanced
by
delocaliza6on
of
educa6on
(as
it
moves
from
real
to
virtual
space),
accelerates
the
prolifera0on
of
new
educa0on
&
training
models.
It
can
be
an0cipated
that,
within
5-­‐10
years,
a
global
online
learning
plaJorm
for
skill
development
emerges,
that
will
play
important
role
in
professional
educa0on
&
training
across
the
world.
Another
an0cipated
plaJorm
(that
will
most
likely
be
combined
with
language
training)
will
help
study
cultural
diversity
(and
cultural
unity
on
global
level,
as
well
as
global
society
inclusiveness
principle)
&
acquire
cross-­‐
cultural
communica0on
skills.
• In
order
to
organize
the
online
learning
space,
it
is
an0cipated
that
a
major
search
engine
(e.g.
Google)
will
launch
a
specialized
search
on
courses
and
online
learning
tools
available
from
exis0ng
ins0tu0ons
and
new
providers.
