INNOVATION: HOW TO DO MORE WITH LESS? To handle the dilemma of compromise among educational opportunity, quality and cost, innovation can be and should be a frugal one. This panel will focus on how to do more with less. We should learn that frugal innovation is more than a strategy. It indicates a new frame of mind: one that sees resource constraints not as a liability but as an opportunity to promote equity in education.

21ST CENTURY SKILLS AND THE FUTURE OF LEARNING The gap between the skills people have and the skills they need to succeed in the twenty-first century is conspicuous. In recent years the framework for twenty-first century skills has evolved remarkably but the definition and implementation of these skills differs among international organizations, particularly according to national contexts.
