European Commission - Press Release - European Commission Press release Brussels, 19 November 2012
The teaching of IT, entrepreneurial and citizenship skills is fundamental for preparing young people for today's job market, but, in general, schools are still paying insufficient attention to these transversal skills compared with basic skills in literacy, mathematics and science, according to a new European Commission report.

"The authors of a new paper for The Hamilton Project have called for a creation of an independent agency used to evaluate the potential of education technology. The agency, which Aaron Chatterji and Benjamin Jones, of Duke University and Northwestern respectively, propose should be named EDU STAR, would spur further development in the sector that has seen little innovation compared to other economic areas."

Student voice has become a popular rallying cry from both the corporate education reformers and the alternative schooling movement. Often, I've been disappointed by a lack of depth and a failure to articulate the nuances of education ideas and policies.

But what would happen if schools gave students a similar amount of unstructured free time and allowed them to take control of their own learning? This spring Matthew Bebbington, a high school physical education teacher in the U.K., decided to find out.
