Policymakers Must Prioritise Durable Skills for Future Workplaces, HP Futures 2026 Report Says

The global HP Futures 2026 report urges policymakers in Nigeria and around the world to embed creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration in education systems. Led by HP, the Global Learning Council and the Education Leaders Forum, it brought together 58 leaders in education, policymaking and the future of work. The report calls for these skills to be funded, taught and assessed, with recognised assessment pathways and programmes designed for low-resource settings. HP executives David McQuarrie and Mayank Dhingra also stress educators’ central role and the need to prepare young people for changes driven by artificial intelligence.
