This foundational Education 2030 position paper presents an early version of the OECD learning framework for a world shaped by technological, social, economic, and environmental change. It argues that education must help young people navigate uncertainty, contribute to collective wellbeing, and shape the future rather than merely adapt to it.
Key ideas
The framework combines disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge, cognitive and metacognitive skills, social and emotional skills, physical and practical skills, and attitudes and values. Student agency is central and develops through co-agency with teachers, peers, families, and communities. Three broad transformative competencies are introduced: creating new value, reconciling tensions and dilemmas, and taking responsibility. An anticipation–action–reflection cycle supports learners in considering consequences, acting purposefully, and revising their understanding.
Why it matters
OECD emphasizes orientation rather than prescription: the framework was co-created internationally and must be interpreted within local contexts. The paper also points toward later work on curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and instructional systems needed to turn aspirational competencies into equitable learning opportunities.
