SUMMARY:Levelling the playing field: Insights from the latest OECD Skills O
 utlook
DESCRIPTION:11 June 2026\, 16:00\nREGISTER HERE\nThe Skills Outlook 2025 hi
 ghlights that family background remains a strong driver of skills differen
 ces across OECD countries. Adults with tertiary-educated parents score hig
 her in literacy\, numeracy\, and adaptive problem-solving than their peers
  from less advantaged backgrounds\, a gap that is especially pronounced am
 ong those with the lowest skills levels. Skills differences are already la
 rge in primary school and although they narrow during the compulsory schoo
 l years\, they remain large in many countries.\nThis webinar will examine 
 how socio-economic differences in skills take shape early\, narrow somewha
 t during compulsory schooling\, but widen again in adulthood as socio-econ
 omically advantaged learners access higher-quality formal\, non-formal\, a
 nd informal learning opportunities. Drawing on international evidence and 
 policy examples\, the session will showcase what works to break the cycle 
 of inherited disadvantage in skills development.
