The signs of change are everywhere: the ' OECD OBSERVER , the newsletter of the OECD in English and France introduced a new Web Edition optimized for mobile and iPhone, and new items at the bottom of the bookmark icon shows the most popular social media (Facebook, My space etc). In the year dedicated to Darwin, perhaps it would be recalled that the species to survive is the one that best adapts to change, if this were not enough could recall what the historian Arnold Toynbee said about the fortune and misfortune of civilization due to the ability to exploit the latest techniques available and distributed to the population as a whole.
's article in the OECD " Innovation and globalization through OECD ITS looking glass "Ron Gass, examines possible scenarios for economic development and the role of educational institutions in defining this future. As long as the labor cost is the main factor of production is logical that the same production moves to countries where labor costs are lower. But the economies and society creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship must be distributed to the entire population. There is need to propose policies based on territory and the mobilization of endogenous human and cultural resources, rather than the redistribution of resources through subsidies that should guide policies and economic culture must tend towards enterprise and initiative rather than to help. Globalization and innovation on the one hand increase the wealth, but on the other increase social inequality: the advanced economies and democratic societies can not escape their powerful social effects. As they transition from industrial society to post-industrial to the information, future developments seem to lead this change in the continuous need for creative companies. Following the resolution of this crisis in financial markets, the only possibility of growth and productivity of the real economy will ride the wave of emerging technologies pervasive in the energy, biological and ecological information technology and communications. The OECD has initiated a debate on creative company, and calls the education sector to take over because it has always been education, others to convey the legacy of the past was the area MP to prepare for the future. I wonder how many teachers are ready and willing to take on this task so important in my daily experience, unfortunately I do not see many!
