    Do universities teach students to think critically? OECD researchers offer evidence that students aren’t getting ‘generic skills’ needed for world of work – with potentially big implications September 6, 2022 Tom Williams Twitter: @TWilliamsTHE Share on twitter Share on facebook Share on linkedin Share on mail 11 Source: istock Professional services giant PwC’s recent announcement that new recruits will no longer require at least a 2:1 degree was seen by many as the latest sign that some of the world’s largest employers are losing faith that a good university qualification guarantees a candidate of a certain quality. The firm is by no means the first to look for new ways of determining the talent and potential of recent graduates as employers become increasingly vocal about the supposed failures of even the top universities to ensure that those entering the workforce have obtained the status of being “job-ready”. In response, governments and policymakers around the world have emphasised the need for more practical, vocational degree courses that are closely tied to real-world experiences. But a new publication from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) argues that it is in the teaching of more generic critical thinking skills where universities can make the most difference.
