\nFuture Skills You Should Learn Now<\/i><\/b>, provides teachers, youth workers,
\nand parents with in depth explanations and insights, as well as teaching
\nresources and cases studies on the skills needed for the future.\u00a0 Given the development of artificial
\nintelligence and advanced technology, education has tended to focus on practical
\nand professional skills, but has neglected the development of important soft
\nskills such as attitude, values and resilience. Addressing this imbalance, this
\nbook provides a valuable educational reference and comes highly recommended by
\nPrincipal Lee Chack Fan, one of the Theme Writers of the Hong Kong Book Fair
\n2021.<\/p>\n
