We have been organizing the International Skills Forum every other year and this year, the 9th International Skills Forum will be a virtual event from 23 to 27 August 2021. Under the theme Reimagining Education and Skills Development for a New Normal, the forum will focus on these three questions:

  • how to scale up learning and equity while building on lessons from new generation adaptive and blended learning technologies? 
  • how to prepare learners with better employability and 21st century skills? 
  • how to leverage partnerships to support innovative approaches to building back better for a new normal?

This year’s event will be held in partnership with the Yidan Prize Foundation, UNESCO, UNICEF, and the Education Commission, among others. We expect more than 1,000 participants to attend including senior government officials from 30 or more of ADB's developing member countries.
