Schools prepare students for a constantly evolving world. 

The development of the Pan-Canadian Systems-Level Framework on Global Competencies started with an in-depth international and pan-Canadian review of the literature that focused on trends in competencies and competency-based education. The review also examined the system transformation undertaken in several education systems, including those of Canadian provinces and territories, which provided reports and documents describing their efforts to integrate global competencies into their systems. For the purpose of the literature review, competencies were considered sets of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values associated with childhood development in the cognitive, interpersonal, and intrapersonal domains (e.g., citizenship, creativity) and that feature prominently in the discourse on preparing students to thrive in a globally connected world where technology rapidly proliferates. The resulting literature review identified seven domains of change that form the basis of the Pan-Canadian Systems-Level Framework on Global Competencies.
