Youth unemployment has been at elevated levels around the world, and expected to stand at 12.7% in 2012, translating to 75 million out of work youth …… The high level of unemployment can be partly attributed to a skills mismatch – a growing gap between employers’ needs and skills that students acquire at secondary and tertiary levels of education.

AIM’s role in this joint initiative with MoE is largely to infuse analytical, critical and creative skills into the education system.
A Futureskills Lab was conducted in June 2011, attended by 25 participants from MoE and AIM .
AIM & MoE conducted a Need Analysis of 59 classrooms at 16 schools in Sept 2011.
10 schools nationwide, were identified and selected by MoE to begin the pilot initiative in January 2012 involving 10,000 Students and 800 Teachers.
Followed by 1,007 schools in 2013 and the remaining 9,000 in 2014 – 5.4mil Students, 412k Teachers.
The initiative began with 8 Thinking Processes, new ACT (Analytical & Critical Thinking) Tools will be gradually introduced.
