According to the Transformative Competencies for 2030, the OECD Learning Compass 2030 defines “transformative competencies” as the types of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values students need to transform society and shape the future for better lives.

These competencies emphasise that learners need to become self-aware, take responsibility, work well with others, and possess the agency and self-determination to create value and thrive in a changing world. To achieve these transformative competencies requires nothing less than authentic learning experiences that help foster these skills and dispositions.
