Future Skills
Research has shown that skills accumulated in childhood positively affect later learning—and that disadvantages encountered early in life increase over time. Curriculums that support child development and align their competencies with the new reality of the 21st century may foster long-lasting improvements in Canadian society.
Using their three research pillars of examining data, testing programs, and analyzing policies, Future Skills investigates how children develop skills, examines the reasons why many fall behind, and identifies effective, efficient ways to support them. At the same time, Future Skills develops programs and services that more equitably ensure that all children achieve their potential.
