Taking into consideration the challenges of the rapidly changing world the school needs to contribute into ability of teachers as well as students to constantly learn and relearn, to be productive and creative.The Estonian Lifelong Learning Strategy 2020 gives vision and strategic goals for 2020 which includes, among others, change in the approach to learning; competent and motivated teachers and school leadership; concordance of lifelong learning opportunities with the needs of labor market; a digital focus in lifelong learning.
    The European Commission Program “Europe 2020. A Strategy for Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth” puts forward such flagship initiatives as “A Digital Agenda for Europe” which on the national level foresees promotion of deployment and usage of modern accessible online services (e.g. digital skills), as well as “An Agenda for New Skills and Jobs” which on the national level intends to ensure that the competences required to engage in further learning and the labor market are acquired and recognized throughout general, vocational, higher and adult education, including formal and  nonformal education.
    Furthermore, the Estonian Labor Force Surveillance and Forecast System OSKA 2025 gives an overview of essential skills needed for jobs in the future, including program-based thinking, intercultural competence, transdisciplinarity, design-thinking and virtual cooperation.
