- 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.

- When it comes to the jobs of the future, you can’t squeeze people out of the equation, says Ben Pring. An optimist, he believes that what makes us human, our soft skills, will be more valuable than ever. And as machines take on more dirty, dangerous or simply dull tasks, people will be able to do work that is more interesting, engaging and meaningful. Ben Pring is co-founder and leader of the Cognizant Center for the Future of Work and author of What To Do When Machines Do Everything.

- Description
- Business-as-usual has become a largely unsustainable system. When economics and the financial industry are driven solely by quarterly earnings growth and GDP, the well-being of most people falls by the wayside. The health of our environment and trust between people are also casualties of growth-only economics. Economist Jeffrey Sachs is the director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He says our economic watchwords should be well-being. And do no harm. While this podcast was recorded in October 2019, Sachs’ insights remain more relevant than ever.

- Trade unions have been out of fashion in the past couple of decades. In 1985, 45% of workers were protected by collective agreements. In 2016, this number fell to 32%. While economies have more or less gone back to pre-crisis levels and unemployment is spectacularly low, wages remain stuck. Are we witnessing trade union revivalism now? Paul Nowak, UK Deputy General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress, give us his take.

- The time for action on climate is now! All countries must play their part. There is a lot more governments can do to reduce emissions and address climate change. By focusing on five economic sectors, we can tackle nearly 90% of emissions. Industry, electricity, agriculture, transport and buildings are the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Cutting these greenhouse gas emissions is key to sustainable and healthy lives, and livelihoods. Taking the right climate policy actions now, can get us on track to achieve our climate targets by 2025. And they will help us change our lives for the better too.

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.
