Tóm tắt
This chapter reviews the links between new skills demands, higher education curriculum developments, and the growing interest in liberal arts and science education in various parts of the world. It assesses the value of a liberal arts and sciences model in respect of the changing skills demand from the labour market, the need to (re-)connect various knowledge domains that transcend the traditional disciplines and thus consider curriculum reform, and the link with trends and reforms in secondary education. Liberal arts and sciences programmes can be seen as a possibly powerful response to global demands and challenges which many countries are facing. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016.
