Inspiration to learn about yourself

Während dieser sehr interessanten Diskussion bemerkte ich, dass nicht mindestens die folgenden 3 Themen als wichtige Themen angesprochen wurden: # 1: Wir müssen in life long learning investieren. Investitionen in Bildung, Forschung und Innovation sind wichtige Investitionen um weiterhin Wert schaffen zu können. Wir müssen laufend in Weiterbildung investieren.

Unter wichtigen Kompetenzen / Fähigkeiten, die wir Alle lernen müssen, sind beispielsweise Mathematik, Kommunikation auf mehreren Sprachen, Anwendung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien und von anderen Technologien sowie Fähigkeiten kreativ / innovativ zu denken / arbeiten - einschliesslich Neues auszuprobieren.

From minute 19: Teachers at schools continue to educate people to do routine work that technology is increasingly taking over from humans. We need to change that. From minute 20: We need to increase entrepre...
