33,162 contributions Question 9 To build this desired future, what we must all learn… at school is… The question of what should be taught in schools to create the future that young people seek is central to this consultation, and is probably its most important result. This question incorporates the hopes, fears, and collective challenges expressed throughout by participants. It is the manifestation of potential solutions regarding the lessons that should be taught: a way for young people to transform their aspirations and concerns into concrete proposals for the educational system. When they are asked what we must all learn at school to create the future they seek, the top answer given by young people is to learn or relearn personal values and virtues that allow people to “live together” in harmony. They mention areas such as respect, kindness, solidarity, moral values in general, tolerance, open-mindedness, empathy, acceptance, responsibility, friendship, love, and more. This result, coupled with the near-total absence of traditional skills and aptitudes such as science, technology, engineering, math, social sciences, and the humanities, all of which are traditionally taught at school, is staggering. All over the world, the youth are practically shouting at the top of their lungs about the urgent need for a foundation of values and virtues on which to develop our social relationships and interactions with each other, and bring them back into harmony.
