"Looking forward, what vocational skills will teachers of the future require?

I believe in the future the most important vocational skills required of teachers will fall into four categories. These are:

1. Knowledge of the subject area they are teaching.

The teacher of the future must be a professional of knowledge and have a holistic, in-depth knowledge of his subject areas, teaching, education, and the related expert information networks.

2. Expertise in learning and teaching.

As the concept of learning becomes broader and more essential over people's lifetimes, the teacher of the future must be able to apply this expertise flexibly across the boundaries of age, municipalities and educational institutions, in many different forms, including on-line environments.

3. Social and ethical competence.

The teacher of the future's work must include passing on social and ethical values such as democracy, human dignity, civic participation and the well-being of people, and being able to engage in multi-professional cooperation and coordination with the home.

4. Versatile skills in practical work in schools.

The teacher of the future must have practical skills needed in the daily life of schools, including running of the school, rights and duties of the teacher and pupil, and financial and administrative issues, in order to continue our practice of incorporating decision making by teachers at the school level in our education system."
