PLACEHOLDER: TO ADD NARRATIVE 

Why profiles and new transcripts? All countries grappling with the same set of challenges: 

* Ranking and sorting unjust and not sufficient for just some to succeed given pace of change with economy and society. Need broader aims 

* Lack of recognition/narrowing of what is valued in education - inequalities as a result 

* Those lacking credentials being ‘left behind’ and locked out of opportunity 

* Curriculum narrowing due to test prep (USA open letter)

* Elitism re high tariff Uni progression/gaming

* Uni and employers - schools not providing skills needed 

* Readiness for life and work 

Assessment trends:

Transcripts for progression

Badges and micro credentials  - skills and workforce development

Portfolios - ongoing assessment for learning

LinkedIn and other platforms - how we curate profiles online 

How are national or state governments responding to the development of learner profiles and technology?
