It called for education that will keep pace with technological development, and the &#8220;need to educate and train people with the necessary skills for the future of work.&#8221; U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos attended this summit. Ms. DeVos supported this education agenda, stating it closely aligns with President Trump&#8217;s agenda by having education closely aligned with workforce skills and industry demands. This means specifically educating not only youth but adults as well, based on industry workforce needs.<\/p>\n<p>For some unknown reason, this document,\u00a0G20 Education Ministers&#8217; Declaration 2018,\u00a0has been removed from many websites. It outlines the global education plan which Ms. DeVos signed. Some highlights include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Affirm the unique role of education as a key driver for sustainable development for all nations, recognize the need to place education at the center of the global agenda and call for collective action<\/li>\n<li>Educate and train people with the\u00a0necessary skills for the future of work<\/li>\n<li>Education keeps pace with societal and technological innovations such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Internet of Things; skills should be considered in curriculum development; curricula should be highly responsive to future employment trends<\/li>\n<li>Have robust\u00a0and comprehensive assessment systems and data to measure progress and learning outcomes; important role of existing international assessments<\/li>\n<li>We commit to facilitating the internationalization of education<\/li>\n<li>Promote quality education in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics\u00a0(STEAM)<\/li>\n<li>Foster the inclusion of non-cognitive skills such as socio-emotional skills across the curriculum<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen the use of digital and e-learning technologies<\/li>\n<li>Promote education with strong connections to industry&#8230;to facilitate the transition from school to work<\/li>\n<li>Encourage cooperation with ministries of labor and employment to generate comprehensive skills policies that prepare citizens for future market needs<\/li>\n<li>Support collaborative research&#8230;international cooperation and\u00a0information exchange<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gemstatepatriot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/g20_education_ministers_declaration_english.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-toolbar=\"top\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"on\">g20_education_ministers_declaration_english<\/a>\n<p>Under the\u00a0G20 Ministerial Meeting section on the U.S. Department of Education\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/news\/newsletters\/edreview\/2018\/0914.html#3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a>, Ms. DeVos\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/news\/speeches\/prepared-remarks-secretary-devos-meeting-g20-education-ministers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">expounded<\/a> further about her support of the G20 Education Ministers&#8217; agenda, and &#8220;adopting curricula that are highly responsive to evidence-based practices and future employment trends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is also another\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.g20.utoronto.ca\/2018\/2018-09-06-joint_education_and_employment_ministers_declaration_argentina_2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">document<\/a>\u00a0listed, G20 Joint Education &amp;\u00a0Labour and Employment Ministers&#8217;\u00a0Declaration\u00a02018 Mendoza Joint Meeting, that basically reinforces the Declaration more strongly.<\/p>\n<p>The United States educational system is officially under the United Nations, the plan is in effect and has been for years, our children are being taught for future workforce needs of industries.
