Tomorrow's Citizens: Skills for success in the 21st Century

The Tomorrow's Citizens: Skills for success in the 21st Century resource recognises that what is taught and how it is taught is the key to building contemporary knowledge and skills that are relevant and appropriate to 21st century learners and citizens.

Five citizen roles provide a focus for creating relevant and engaging learning and assessment opportunities.

Healthy citizen

Informed citizen

Democratic citizen

Creative citizen

Eco-citizen
