Emerging 21st Century Competencies

The Emerging 21CC comprise knowledge, skills, dispositions and values that enable a person to meet complex demands in specific contexts. They are termed “Emerging” because of their increasing importance, given changes to the life contexts, such as study, work and play, that students will be situated in.
