Creativity is a very important skill that is never taught... maybe because of its very nature (what is creative cannot fit in a box).
Nevertheless, the ability to think in a creative manner to face the new challenges that we will encounter during this century is essential. Thanks for your survey !

To focus on problem solving skills would help to increase creative, to encourage independent learning and to make children learn from a variety of topics and then go towards what drives their passions

From our work we see that Digital Skills nowadays are essential to connect to earning opportunities and are instrumental for inclusion, but other skills as communications skills, etc. are absolutely necessary to enable person to get the job in the first place.
My team was working on the pilot Women Online Work in Kosovo trying to provide women with employability skills to earn online through online contracting for different set of tasks - results proved that Digital Skills were not enough to get Digital jobs, but set of both was very powerful. Out of 65 women who graduated 57 got at least one contract. That opens lots of opportunities to address the lack of jobs in rural areas given good quality Internet access is not an issue.

The capacity to acknowledge and articulate an issue/a problem in a compelling manner is key and essential to generate the passion required to unleash human capacity to solve a problem.
Hard to say. I do appreciate the "foundations" provided by my public school education in New Jersey, USA. However by high school ('96 - '01) it would have been nice to have been introduced to more coding, for example. In college I think I took everything that I wanted to take--the benefit of a liberal arts education where I was able to define my own degree. That required, however, individual vision and initiative, which not all late teens might have.

It is very hard to choose because I would like to learn or relearn many things! And I am increasingly aware of how the answers I need seem to draw on information and knowledge from different disciplines. Numerical skills help me be a better problem solver in some instances, but I am impressed at how broad the domain of problem solving is in reality. Is problem solving another term for critical thinking, which is itself just another term for good thinking? Tough problem to solve! --mc
