For a long time, educators hope to equip a new generation of soft skills to meet the challenges of the 21st century. According to an earlier survey conducted by LinkedIn, the five soft skills most needed by job seekers in 2020 are:
#1 Creativity - same as 2019.
#2 Persuasion - same as 2019.
#3 Collaboration - same as 2019.
#4 Adaptability - same as 2019.
#5 Emotional Intelligence - new.
Although emerging technologies such as robots or artificial intelligence are developing rapidly, they still fail to catch up with human beings in soft skills, reflecting that some human values can not be easily replaced by machines.
So how can our younger generation learn different soft skills? Especially before they have set foot in the real society, how can schools provide them with appropriate learning opportunities?
