- Description
- You’re no doubt hearing a lot about education these days, with the release of the latest results from PISA. Over the two decades of its existence, the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment has convened a growing number of countries – now around 80 – to participate in its triennial assessment of what 15-year-old students know and can do. But PISA has also attracted some criticism along the way. Yong Zhao, professor in the School of Education at the University of Kansas, and Aaron Benavot, professor of Global Education Policy in the School of Education at the State University of New York at Albany, discuss the value of a test the whole world can take with Director of the OECD Directorate for Education and Skills, Andreas Schleicher.

- Description
- A lot of talk goes on about the future of education – in ministry offices, school staff rooms, even household kitchens. But one voice is routinely left out of the discussion: that of the students themselves. A defining – and inescapable – feature of “the future” is that it’s always just around the corner. But why is it that we so rarely consult those who are about to face what’s around that corner? In this episode of TopClass, we sit down with students from across the globe to ask what they believe is next for education in the 21st century, as well as their views on the future of the job market.

- The Covid-19 pandemic has shocked our world. Our healthcare systems are under intense pressure, and the economy is suffering badly too, with stalling trade and investment, and massive job losses adding to human suffering. We talk to Frederic Jenny, Professor of Economics at ESSEC Business School in Paris and chair of the OECD Competition Committee. Why have our economies been so badly affected by the coronavirus crisis? What questions does the crisis raise about globalisation, and about markets? Can competition policy help? How can governments be better prepared in future?

- Description
- New technologies such as automation and AI are rapidly reshaping our economies and our work. For Stefano Scarpetta, head of the directorate for employment, labour and social affairs at the OECD, these changes aren’t likely to lead to massive, technologically driven unemployment, but rather can bring opportunities if the right policies and support are in place. In order to build an inclusive future of work, governments – together with employers, trade unions and civil society – need to act now. Because if we wait to see exactly how technologies are changing our economies, we’ll always be too late.

The global health and economic crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted in many ways—that the world needs whistleblowers. This webinar looks at what urgent action governments and companies can take to ensure that people report misconduct related to COVID-19 mitigation and response measures, with the tools that they currently have.
Around the world, governments, international organisations, companies and NGOs are embarking on massive emergency financing to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and prepare for post-crisis recovery. Given the urgency, essential transparency and accountability measures are being shortcut or postponed.

- 20 May 2020. Corruption hurts all of us. It leads to the wrong public policies, undermining confidence in governments’ ability to serve the public interest. But governments are not standing still: confronted with this reality, many are responding with measures to enhance public integrity. Informed by these good practices, the OECD adopted the Recommendation on Public Integrity in 2017. The Recommendation serves as a roadmap based on thirteen principles to make change happen. Real change however requires clear guidance. The new OECD Public Integrity Handbook responds to this need, providing insights on what integrity looks like and identifying the challenges governments may encounter along the way.
Informed by the Handbook, this webinar invites critical thinking about how to put the public integrity vision into practice.

- The fight against tax evasion – Multilateralism in action
The global fight against tax evasion has been one of the major success stories of international co-operation over the past decade, leading to new global tax transparency standards and more than 100 billion euros in additional revenues for countries worldwide. In the context of 10th anniversary of the Global Forum on Tax Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, which sees over 150 countries collaborating to put an end to bank secrecy and tax evasion, former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown explains how the G20 led the way.

- Description
- The OECD visited a metal joining factory in rural Portugal to report on how the use of automated robots can make dangerous, dirty and tiring work safer, cleaner and less boring for workers. Technological progress in the future of work can lead to collaboration, rather than the elimination of jobs, meaning that people and companies grow side-by-side. The future of work is now and we need to make sure that workers have the skills to use technology effectively and that companies are ready to use it in order to boost productivity and improves workers’ lives.

- Description
- David Wallace-Wells, American journalist and author of the bestseller book “The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming”, explains that mitigating climate change is our responsibility.
The existential threat of climate change, and the interlinked biodiversity crisis and the multiple impacts of both, including on people, must be addressed as a core economic challenge. This requires broader government strategies to achieve strong, sustainable, fair and resilient growth. In doing so, governments will have to manage a complex political economy of reform and pursue a transformation that creates opportunity for all. Learn more: https://www.oecd.org/climate-change/.

- Description
- The OECD regularly recommends to countries to reform their education and training systems. Economists refer to this as improving ‘human capital’. Yet, at the macroeconomic level, quantifying the effects of human capital on growth and productivity has often proven frustratingly elusive. A newly released OECD measure of human capital, which varies across countries and over time, works well in productivity regressions, providing the “missing” link between growth and human capital.

- Description
- New technologies such as automation and AI are rapidly reshaping our economies and our work. For Stefano Scarpetta, head of the directorate for employment, labour and social affairs at the OECD, these changes aren’t likely to lead to massive, technologically driven unemployment, but rather can bring opportunities if the right policies and support are in place. In order to build an inclusive future of work, governments – together with employers, trade unions and civil society – need to act now. Because if we wait to see exactly how technologies are changing our economies, we’ll always be too late.
