Abstract
This chapter explores the plethora of literature on teachers’ 21st century skills. The authors explore two broad paradigms found in the literature. The first and most prominent advocate educational reform; formulating ways to better the existing systems and provide teachers with new skills to teach. The second seek to replace the existing systems in order to provide teachers with far greater autonomy to re-imagine education holistically for the future.
