The importance of choosing a future-facing international school

In uncertain times, it can be a trying task for parents to determine which international school they should send their child or children to. Since the latest International Labour Organization (ILO) report, named Work for a Brighter Future: Report of the Global Commission on the Future of Work, it has become clearer to schools and universities that they must support their students through future of work transitions and readily embrace uncertainty with innovative learning solutions. Requiring academic institutions and workplaces to think about increasing investment in people’s capabilities’, the report also highlights that “Young people will need help in navigating the increasingly difficult shift from school to work.” To serve their students well, international schools need to be future-facing, understanding both current and upcoming industry demands. Naturally, parents want the best education for their child; one that is progressive, broadens their horizons and helps them excel academically while equipping them with practical skills to succeed in university and beyond.
