GLOBAL COMPETENCIES
Educators and education systems
worldwide are reassessing the
knowledge, skills and dispositions
students need for success in today's
rapidly changing and complex world.
Many occupations our young people will
find themselves in do not exist yet.
With this in mind, Trinityhouse High
School Randpark Ridge places
importance on the teaching of GLOBAL
COMPETENCIES. Read the article below posted by
Charlotte Edmond, on the World
Economic Forum website
(https://www.weforum.org/agenda/20
17/09/skills-children-need-work-
future/).
This has been exacerbated by two colliding
trends: firstly, the global shift from an
industrial economy to a knowledge economy,
and secondly, the way in which today’s school
children – brought up with the internet – are
motivated to learn.
In his book The Global Achievement Gap,
Wagner identifies seven core competencies
every child needs in order to survive in the
coming world of work.
Education may be the passport to the future,
but for all the good teaching out there, it
would seem that schools are failing to impart
some of the most important life skills,
according to one educational expert.
Dr. Tony Wagner, co-director of Harvard's
Change Leadership Group, argues that today’s
school children are facing a “global
achievement gap”, which is the gap between
what even the best schools are teaching and
the skills young people need to learn.

GLOBAL COMPETENCIES
7 skills
your child
needs to
survive the
changing
world of
work
1. Critical thinking and problem-solving
Companies need to be able to continuously improve
products, processes and services in order to
compete. And to do this they need workers to have
critical thinking skills and to be able to ask the right
questions to get to the bottom of a problem.
2. Collaboration across networks and leading by
influence
Given the interconnected nature of the business
world, leadership skills and the ability to influence
and work together as a team has become
increasingly important. And the key to becoming an
effective leader? It's twofold, says Wagner,
involving "creative problem-solving and a clear
ethical framework".
3. Agility and adaptability
The ability to adapt and pick up new skills quickly is
vital for success: workers must be able to use a
range of tools to solve a problem. This is also known
as "learnability", a sought-after skills among job
candidates.
4. Initiative and entrepreneurialism
There is no harm in trying: often people and
businesses suffer from a tendency to be risk-averse.
It is better to try 10 things and succeed in eight
than it is to try five and succeed in all of them.

5. Effective oral and written communication
Recruits’ fuzzy thinking and inability to articulate
their thoughts were common complaints that
Wagner came across from business leaders when
researching his book. This isn’t so much about
young people’s ability to use grammar and
punctuation correctly, or to spell, but how to
communicate clearly verbally, in writing or while
presenting. "If you have great ideas but you can’t
communicate them, then you’re lost," Wagner says.
6. Accessing and analysing information
Many employees have to deal with an immense
amount of information on a daily basis: the ability
to sift through it and pull out what is relevant is a
challenge. Particularly given how rapidly the
information can change.
7. Curiosity and imagination
Curiosity and imagination are what drive innovation
and are key to problem solving. "We’re all born
curious, creative and imaginative," says Wagner.
"The average four-year-old asks a hundred questions
a day. But by the time that child is 10, he or she is
much more likely to be concerned with getting the
right answers for school than with asking good
questions.
"What we as teachers and parents need do to
keep alive the curiosity and imagination that, to a
greater or lesser extent, is innate in every child."

DEBATING
Recently our two senior and two junior teams
progressed to the SACEE Gauteng provincial
championships. We were extremely happy
with the performance of our teams.
It is an honour for our Grade 8 team to
compete at this level in their first year.
Our grade 9 team finished 17th in the Junior
section. They will progress to the final round
should another team drop out, as they placed
one outside the final round selection. They
have also been invited to the combined
provincial tournament in September.
Our first team Wolves finished in 10th position
and progress to the final round in July. A
senior team will also compete in the combined
provincial tournament in September.
Over 100 schools compete in SACEE and we
are very proud of the results attained by our
debaters.
