I am somewhat frustrated by this report which argues that there is a need for higher education to address the growing need for "critical thinking and problem solving" skills in the workplace with no real statement of what those are. Maybe there are parts missing from the online publication (the PDFs are locked behind a paywall - maybe organizations that call for "more transparency about the skills students acquire" and complain "this has not been a strength of most higher education systems" should rethink their pay-to-view policy). There's more information in cartoon form and in OECD's skills for 2030 document. It's interesting that universities resisted the OECD study with the result that this report only "reports on the work pursued between 2016 and 2021 to assess critical thinking and written communication, and associated skills in higher education institutions in six countries."
