As AI reshapes how we live, work, and learn, education systems must evolve to equip learners with the competencies needed to thrive—beyond academics.
This interactive session at the LearningPlanet Festival 2026 builds on the insights and momentum of the ACE 2025 Summit, which brought together global changemakers to explore how core human competencies – such as resilience, critical thinking, adaptability, and collaboration – can be embedded and assessed in education systems.
In this session, we will:
- Examine how AI is challenging traditional understandings of learning and driving the need for competency-based education.
- Explore innovative models and tools for assessing skills, character, and meta-learning, offering a fuller picture of learner development.
Whether you’re an educator, policymaker, or EdTech leader, this session will surface strategic questions and possibilities to guide long-term transformation.
Join us to reimagine what counts as learning – and how we can build future-ready systems that place human competencies at the heart of education.
