THE GLOBAL COMPACT ON EDUCATION AND YOUNG PEOPLE     On 12 September 2019, Pope Francis surprised everyone once again with another ‘first’: an invitation to a large meeting in May 2020 at the Vatican to shape a Global Compact on Education.

Is School Education at Risk? Fostering Unique Learning in the Digital AI Age by Hamad Yahya The transformative convergence of technology and education reshapes the learning landscape. The trends of artificial intelligence (AI) have accelerated this transformation, offering both opportunities and challenges. While AI holds the potential to revolutionize instruction (OECD, 2019), concerns about its impact on human interaction and the role of educators persist.

  The Focusing on 21st Century Skills by  Amornteb Intasorn In the face of such rapid change, educators and activists are promoting 21 st century skills to prepare students for an unknown future and jobs that have yet to be created. 21 st century skills are a range of competencies, taught across all levels of education that give students the skills they need to navigate an ever-shifting workforce. According to (Bernie Trilling and Charles Fadel, 2011) authors of 21 st Century Skills: Learning for Life in Our Times, 21 st century skills reflect the idea that “the world has changed so fundamentally in the last few decades that the roles of learning and education in day-to-day living have also changed forever.” (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2015) notes that 21 st century skills transform students into “versalitists,” that are students who can “apply depth of skill to a progressively widening scope of situations and experiences, gaining new...
