ICT Skill for Life — by Alan Clarke — last modified 21-07-2007 11:07

The UK government announced in the white paper 21st Century Skills, Realising Our Potential that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) would be included alongside literacy and numeracy as skills for life, that is, skills essential for people to live and work in a modern society. The decision was clearly based on factors such as that 90% of new jobs and 76% of existing ones require some degree of ICT skills, and the significant trend to provide government and other services online. ICT skills and knowledge are increasingly vital to be able to participate in society. Adults without ICT skills, confidence and access to technology are at serious risk of being excluded.

Key Competencies – The Challenge KC 2007 — by Judith Gaw — last modified 21-07-2007 11:10

Developing formative assessment practice can have a profound impact on the quality of learning and teaching, according to research on assessment in the national curriculum for schools. The two year research project (2005 – 2007), Improving Formative Assessment, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, NRDC and the QIA, has been evaluating how teachers and students in post-14 education and literacy, language and numeracy programmes for adults can enhance their understanding and practice of formative assessment. Led by Kathryn Ecclestone, Professor in Education at Oxford Brookes University, the research is informed by the work of Paul Black and Dylan Wiliam into formative assessment practices in secondary schools.

How can we survive without key job competencies in Hong Kong? — by Loretta Au Yin Ching — last modified 21-07-2007 11:11

At present, the primary industry employs less than 1% of the total population in Hong Kong. In the 1970s, the development of light industries was very fast and manufacturing industries employed 47.7% of the total working population. However, Hong Kong lacked raw materials, power resources and land for industrial development so since 1980s, over 90% of the Hong Kong factories have relocated to Mainland China to save costs and Hong Kong’s economy has transformed from the manufacturing sector to the tertiary sector. Everything in the society has to transform accordingly in order to adapt to the new challenges of economic globalization, modernisation and the close interconnection with Mainland China. The changes in the secondary and tertiary education system, curricula, examination system and format, employment structure, infrastructure, communication, transportation and logistic services are ever ongoing.
