The School of the Future. Does it Have the Room for Soft Skills Development?

The so-called soft skills — a set of personal and social skills and qualities — are increasingly becoming the subject of studies and public discourse lately. However, school and University education still remains focused on knowledge. Will the School of the Future place as much emphasis to the development of soft skills as to substantive learning? We are starting a series of publications dedicated to the models of the School of the Future. Our first conversation is about what role the school plays in developing soft skills in children.

FROM RESEARCH AMONG ENGINEERS TO GOOGLE EMPLOYEES

Scientists discovered long ago that in-depth knowledge and even good grades at school and the University do not necessarily translate into success in life and career. For example, the National Soft Skills Association of America describes the findings of a study covering several thousand American engineers, conducted more than a hundred years ago, in 1918. Even then, about 85 % of engineers cited personal qualities as the most important factor influencing success in an engineering career — compared to 15 % citing technical knowledge and skills (Mann, 1918).
