“ A generation ago, teachers could expect that

what they taught would last their students a

lifetime. Today, because of rapid economic and

social change, schools have to prepare students

for jobs that have not yet been created,

technologies that have not yet been invented and

problems that we don’t yet know will arise.”

Andreas Schleicher, OECD Education Directorate

Development (OECD)

new ways of thinking: including creativity, critical thinking,

problem-solving and decision-making;

new ways of working: including new forms of collaboration

and communication;

using new tools for working: including the capacity to

harness the potential of new technologies.

“ Success will go to those individuals and countries that are

swift to adapt, slow to resist and open to change. The task of

educators and policymakers is to help countries rise to this

challenge.” [Schleicher op cit]

OECD proposed that students should be introduced to:

A Learner-centered approach

Our syllabuses provide

learners with the

foundation to achieve

high levels of academic

and personal learning

in an engaging way.

Together with schools,

we aim to develop

learners who are:

Confident

Innovative

ResponsibleReflective

Engaged

Confident in working with information and ideas

– their own and those of others

Cambridge learners are

confident, secure in their

knowledge, unwilling to take

things for granted, and ready

to take intellectual risks. They

are keen to explore and

evaluate ideas and arguments

in a structured, critical and

analytical way. And they are

able to communicate and

defend views and opinions,

and to respect those of others.

Responsible for themselves, responsive to

and respectful of others

Cambridge learners take

ownership of their learning, set

targets, and insist on

intellectual integrity. They are

collaborative and supportive.

They understand that actions

have impacts on others and on

the environment, and they

appreciate the importance of

culture, context and

community.

Reflective as learners, developing their

ability to learn

Cambridge learners

understand themselves as

learners. They are concerned

with the processes as well as

the products of their learning

and develop the awareness

and strategies to be life long

learners.

Innovative and equipped for new and future

challenges

Cambridge learners welcome new

challenges, and meet them

resourcefully, creatively and

imaginatively. They are capable

of applying their knowledge and

understanding to solve new and

unfamiliar problems. And they

can adapt flexibly to new

situations requiring new ways of

thinking.

Engaged intellectually and socially, ready

to make a difference

Cambridge learners are alive

with curiosity, embody a spirit of

enquiry, and want to dig more

deeply. They are keen to learn

new skills, and are receptive to

new ideas. They work well

independently but also with

others. And they are equipped to

participate critically and

constructively in society and

economy – locally, nationally and

globally.
