The OECD Scenarios for the Future of Schooling

Excerpt from report:
“In 2001, the OECD published What Schools for the Future? (OECD, 2001[1]), a set of scenarios on the future of schooling and education. … This chapter presents an updated set of scenarios, drawing on the original thinking as well as over a decade of CERI work on Trends Shaping Education”

Methods might be outlined in more detail in the original report but I didn't look for it to see if that's true

Might have used a 2×2 method (but 3 axes) because of this statement: “The original 2001 OECD scenarios presented six possible futures framed and structured along a set of themes: attitudes, expectations, and political support; goals and functions; organisation and structures; the geo-political dimension, and; the teacher force. These were in turn clustered around three axes:” (Introduction)

• Scenarios are developed
• Other

Drivers mentioned include:

• Employers continued reliance on traditional forms of education
• Investment in education R&D
• Digitalization
• Massification and extension of schooling
• speed of technological change
• New forms of work
• Increased number of sources for learning
• Increasingly educated parents
• Erosion of formal education credentials / skill set over qualifciations
• polarization and fragmentation in society
• Digitalization and AI
• Learning and skilling outside formal education and schooling
• embedding technologies in our lives (and our bodies)
