Helping people to develop and use skills effectively is crucial for people and countries to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world. Fully recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic will also require countries to reskill workers who have lost their jobs and to adopt new strategies for making effective use of people’s skills in and out of the workplace.
In helping to achieve this, the OECD assesses skills challenges and opportunities, and looks to help countries to build more effective skills systems through tailor-made policy responses, while using the OECD Skills Strategy framework as its foundation.

Raising skills is critical to Portugal’s economic success and social well-being. As globalisation and digitalisation are transforming how people work, how societies function and how individuals interact, Portugal needs to equip its entire population with strong skills so that they can benefit from new opportunities.Portugal has put education and skills at the forefront of the political agenda for many years, but more than half of adults have not completed upper secondary education. With the population ageing rapidly and a growing skills divide between generations, Portugal needs to further strengthen its adult-learning system. To make change happen, Portugal will need a clear vision for the adult-learning system and a strong partnership between all stakeholders – all levels of government, education and training providers, employers, trade unions, the non-profit sector and learners.This report outlines areas where the accessibility, flexibility and quality of the adult-learning system can be improved, where governance and financing mechanisms can be strengthened, and provides examples of international and national good practice to help achieve these objectives. The report provides a series of concrete actions to help Portugal improve the adult-learning system and in turn enhance economic growth and social cohesion.

LEARNING ANALYTICS IN SCHOOLS
https://latte-analytics.sydney.edu.au/school/ for updates.
Date: Monday 5 March, 2018
Time: 8.30am—3.15pm
Venue: SMC Conference & Function Centre, 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney NSW 2000
In association with the 8th International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge, Society for Learning Analytics Research
Briefing papers: https://latte-analytics.sydney.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/k12_papers-1.pdf
You are warmly invited to join this inaugural event!
The data and analytics revolutions are disrupting and already transforming many sectors in society: finance, health, shopping, politics. Data is not new to education, but for many, it is still challenging to articulate the connection between the potential of using data to support decision making, and the every day-to-day operations occurring in learning environments.
School leaders, teachers, data analysts, academics, policy makers and all other interested parties are invited to join a professional learning and development day focused on the practical applications of Learning Analytics in school (K-12) education.
Drawing on national and international expertise, speakers include innovative school leaders and teachers, school data analysts, university researchers, government and software companies. Whether you already know a bit about Learning Analytics, are brand new to it, or already use it in the classroom, there will be insightful sessions with pertinent applications for all levels of knowledge and understanding.
You will leave with a deeper understanding of:
The diverse forms that Learning Analytics can take, and especially how technology extends this far beyond conventional school data to create better feedback
How such data is being used by school leaders to support strategic reflection
How new kinds of data are being used by teachers to support their practice
The practicalities of initiating such work in your own school
This is the first event of its kind in Australia, and a new initiative for the international LAK conference, so you will make many professional connections as we forge this new network.

This is a slowly evolving presentation I'm working on that attempts to explore future trends for higher education. The first half uses secondary data and charts to explore issues such as demography and development. The second half then looks at some responses by the sector with suggestions for considerations in the future. It is based on my experience with the Blue Skies project (http://pearsonblueskies.com/) editing over 60 articles by leading authors from around the world - each sharing their vision of the future for HE. Please get in touch if you'd like to contribute as it is an ongoing project. Comments and shares both appreciated.
I just had the opportunity of presenting at the inaugural 'World Congress on Access to Post-Secondary Education' in Montreal. It was my first attempt at a synthesis of four projects that the Pearson Think Tank is involved in; on rising tuition fees, school-based careers guidance, university admissions and open education data. In different ways all of these projects explore the 'wicked problem' (complex, evolving and interdependent) of fair access to higher education.
The work highlights three of the common barriers that restrict fair access to higher education;
1) Information asymmetry
2) Unequal distribution of resources
3) Variable and sometimes unequal access
As well as three potential solutions that have been developed over the course of the projects:
1) Deliver truly personalised information and support
2) Develop sustainable local learning ecosystems
3) Make appropriate use of open data
This is an emerging strand of thinking so please do share your feedback.
Careers 2020 aims to scope out how young people can best be supported to plan for, and progress into, their futures.
The First Phase of the project, conducted with iCeGs, features an evidence-based review of careers work covering recent history, the current situation, a menu of possible options for schools, and recommendations for how careers work can be strategically integrated across everything schools do, including the curriculum.
The Second Phase surveyed a nationally representative sample of people involved in school-based careers work to explore which careers activities recently took place in schools and which they are planning to deliver in the future.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. The Careers 2020 project
Scoping out how young people can best be supported to plan for,
and progress into, their futures.
4. Phase one (published)
Mapping existing knowledge and evidence
The first phase of the project, conducted
with iCeGs, features an evidence-based
review of careers work covering recent
history, the current situation, a menu of
possible options for schools, and
recommendations for how careers work
can be strategically integrated across
everything schools do, including the
curriculum.
5. Phase one (published)
Mapping existing knowledge and evidence
Whole-school strategic priority?
Curriculum-led?
Supported?
Monitored?
6. Phase two (currently writing up)
Comparing recent activity with future plans
The next phase surveyed a nationally representative sample of
those involved in school based careers activities
Explore which careers activities recently took place in schools and
which they are planning to deliver in the future.
How has provision changed over three time periods?
-Previous years
-Last academic year (2011/12)
-This academic year (2012/13
Which activities are being delivered? (building on the ‘menu’).
What age groups is careers being delivered to?
What partners are schools working with?
7. Phase two (currently writing up)
Comparing recent activity with future plans
Hoping to publish by May but a few early findings below…
Overall a very mixed picture – a careers postcode lottery?
Non-selective state school respondents relatively negative / hit hard
A few areas where school-based activity has increased…
…but in more cases there is a decline in activity this academic year
Among the hardest-hit activities were;
careers-related resources
work experience (unsurprisingly given recent policy direction)
Face to face careers guidance (lack of funding, support orgs or time)
Scope to do more with younger learners and after GCSEs
Respondents were very confident schools could provide impartial
advice
8. Phase three
New thinking about the future of careers
The final phase aims to work with different stakeholder groups to co-
create innovative new ideas about the long-term future of careers work.
Asking questions such as…
What are the objectives?
How could they be achieved?
What are the different models and actors?
What is the role of technology?
What are the economic and social costs of poor careers services?
What lessons can we learn from other sectors or countries?
