The skills taught in current educational systems do not match with labor market.

---

Mainly I address the current education system still focusing on traditional subjects and not aligned with rapidly evolving demands of the digital era. The 21st century education subjects are only slowly integrated in schools and do not fully fill the need of the labor market. It is learned as a soft skill as an additional course personally by the students with parents support.

Hello Myloga
The current educational systems often fail to match labor market demands due to outdated curricula, insufficient focus on digital and soft skills, and lack of practical training. Rapid technological advancements and evolving job roles require a curriculum that integrates modern tech skills and promotes continuous learning. Successful models, like Germany's dual system and Singapore's SkillsFuture, demonstrate the benefits of industry-education partnerships and lifelong learning. To bridge the gap, educational institutions should update curricula, foster industry collaboration, emphasize soft skills, and support vocational training, ensuring students are well-prepared for the contemporary workforce.

Hello,
In my country the curriculum which is the National Curriculum Framework been designed focusing on different types of skills such as communication skills required in the labour market. Our education system is structured in such a way that meets the objectives of the labour market. For instance, if a child is talented in one specific subject so he can follow a course related to it.

I completely agree with your observation @MYLOG47799627c6 about the current education system, because it is happening here in Puerto Rico also. While traditional subjects provide a foundational knowledge base, they often fall short in equipping students with the skills necessary to thrive in our rapidly evolving digital world.

It is sad to tell that the technology teacher at my school will not be present in the next school year, because our principal think she is not necessary. To bridge the gap, educational institutions need to prioritize and integrate modern subjects into the core curriculum, ensuring all students have the opportunity to develop crucial skills and better prepare for the digital era.

Best,
Mr. Bryan

Oh my goodness, that's so sad. I can't believe there are still people who hold such opinions
