These days, virality seems privileged over quality in the distribution of news with truth and fact losing currency in decision making and democratic choices. Assertions which “feel right” but have no basis in fact seem to be accepted as valid on the grounds that they challenge elites and vested interests. Algorithms that sort us into groups of like-minded individuals create echo chambers that amplify our views, leave us uninformed of opposing arguments, and polarise our societies. Those algorithms are not a design flaw. They are the heart of why social media work. In this context, what can countries do to foster trust, as a fundamental prerequisite for social and economic well-being, for enhancing social cohesion and strengthening resilience, and for maintaining security and order in our societies? OECD’s Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) shows that education strengthens the cognitive and analytical capacities needed to develop, maintain, and (perhaps) restore trust in both close relationships as well as in anonymous others. It does so both directly, through building and reinforcing literacy and numeracy in individuals, and indirectly, through facilitating habits and reinforcing behaviours such as reading and writing at home and at work. Education and trust are thus fundamentally intertwined and dependent on each other.

Interpersonal Trust • Interpersonal trust corresponds to an “expectation that other members of the community will behave in a cooperative and honest way” • The social and economic importance of interpersonal trust is widely acknowledged. It is a associated with: • Collective problems solving • Economic development and functioning democratic institutions • Lower rates of criminality and juvenile delinquency • The literature indicates that greater diversity is associated with lower trust • What role for education systems?

- 12. Trust, Education and Cognitive Abilities • Education one of the strongest correlates of interpersonal trust – but lack of clarity on what mechanisms are responsible for education gradients in interpersonal trust • Cognitive mechanism – To trust others you need to be smart (and not too trustful). Trusting anonymous others requires individuals to feel confident about being able to evaluate the quality of particular interactions with others and to adapt behaviour according to environmental stimuli (Hooge et al., 2012). • Societal stratification mechanism – Trust is a privilege of the ‘winners in society’(Newton 1997). Those who have a higher socio- economic status will find it easier to express trust in the social arrangements that have provided them with this high status. Better educated individuals are more likely to be employed, to earn higher wages, to be in better health, to live in neighbourhoods with low levels of crime. • Direct mechanism – Socialisation processes

- 17. • The first place where children encounter the diversity of society • Provide students with opportunities to learn about global developments that affect the world and their own lives • Teach students to develop a fact-based and critical worldview • Equip students with an appreciation of other cultures and an awareness of their own cultural identities • Engage students in experiences that facilitate international and intercultural relations • Promote the value of diversity, which in turn encourages sensitivity, respect and appreciation A role for schools in building bridging social capital
- 18. Global competence (PISA) Effectively combining knowledge and critical reasoning in order to establish an informed opinion on a global or intercultural issue. Globally competent students can draw on and combine the disciplinary knowledge and modes of thinking acquired in schools to ask questions, analyse data and arguments, explain phenomena, and develop a position concerning a local, global or cultural issue e.g. history course about industrialisation in the developing world
- 19. Global competence (PISA) Willingness and capability to understand global issues, and others’ perspectives and behaviours from multiple points of view. Recognising that perspectives and behaviours – including one’s own – are inherently shaped by various influences and concepts of reality Globally competent students can retain their cultural identity but are simultaneously aware of the cultural values and beliefs of people around them, they examine the origins and implications of others’ and their own assumptions e.g. student noticing culturally-related behaviour
- 20. Global competence (PISA) Understanding the cultural norms of different contexts and adapting behaviour and communication accordingly The capacity to interact with others in ways that are open (i.e. with sensitivity and engagement), appropriate (i.e. respectful) and effective. Globally competent students create opportunities to take informed, reflective action and have their voices heard
- 21. Global competence (PISA) Readiness to respond to a given local, global or intercultural issue. Being ready and willing to take informed, reflective action and an engagement to improve living conditions in one’s own communities and beyond.
- 23. Global competence (PISA) Knowledge of global issues and intercultural issues Content domains: • Culture and intercultural relations (as students engage in learning about other cultures they recognise multiple, complex identities and avoid categorising people through single markers) • Socio-economic development and interdependence • Environmental sustainability • Global institutions, conflicts and human rights
- 24. Global competence (PISA) Global competence builds on specific cognitive and socio-emotional skills, including • Reasoning with information • Communication in intercultural contexts • Perspective-taking (the cognitive and social skills to understand how other people think and feel) • Conflict resolution • Adaptability
- 25. Global competence (PISA) The mind-set that students adopt towards a person, a group, an institution, an issue, a behaviour or a symbol Openness towards people from other cultural backgrounds Respect for cultural differences Global-mindedness
- 26. Global competence (PISA) Values go beyond attitudes as they transcend specific objects or situations People use them consciously and unconsciously as reference for judgements • Human dignity • Cultural diversity
- 27. • 90% of employers in 9 countries surveyed reported they value intercultural skills, and 47% screen for intercultural skills • More than two thirds of employers report that their employees engage frequently with colleagues outside of their country, and over half say that their employees engage frequently with partners and clients outside of their country. • By far the most highly valued skill is “demonstrating respect for others”, followed by “working effectively in diverse teams”. These skills outranked having “qualifications related to the job” and “expertise in the field”. • More than one quarter of employers globally see the education provision in their country as inadequate in producing graduates that meet the intercultural skills needs of their organisation • Source: British Council (2013) “Culture at work: The value of intercultural skills in the workplace” Global competence

- Interpersonal trust corresponds to an “indiscriminate belief in the general benevolence of one’s fellow citizen” (Sturgis et al., 2010) and the “expectation that other members of the community will behave in a cooperative and honest way” (Fukuyama, 1995). To trust others is to believe that strangers will not knowingly hurt us and will consider our well-being when acting (Barber, 1983; Hardin, 2006). The social and economic importance of interpersonal trust is widely acknowledged. In societies with high levels of interpersonal trust individuals share new ideas and exchange information, efficiently interacting with each other to overcome collective action problems (Fukuyama, 1995; Ostrom, 1990; Putnam, 1993, Tavits, 2006). Empirical work confirms that interpersonal trust is an important social and economic resource: it is associated with economic development and functioning democratic institutions (Knack and Keefer, 1997; Putnam, 1993; Inglehart, 1997). Moreover, interpersonal trust is positively associated with health status and behaviours (Islam et al. 2006; De Silva et al., 2005), lower rates of criminality and juvenile delinquency (Halpern, 2001; Sampson, Raudenbush & Earls, 1997).
- The first mechanism identified as responsible for the positive observed association between education and interpersonal trust is cognitive ability (Hooge et al., 2012). Better educated individuals tend to have better cognitive abilities because education promotes the acquisition of cognitive abilities and intelligence is an asset in academic settings, and helps individuals to thrive in school [ref]. Trusting anonymous others requires individuals to feel confident about being able to evaluate the quality of particular interactions with others and to adapt behaviour according to environmental stimuli. It is possible for individuals to trust others in general only if they know that they possess skills that will enable them to understand whether they can trust a particular other in a particular encounter at particular time (Yamagishi, 2001; Yamagishi, Kikuchi, & Kosugi, 1999; Sturgis et al., 2010). A second mechanism identified in the literature relates to social stratification and the fact that better educated individuals are more likely to be employed, to earn higher wages, to be in better health, to live in neighbourhoods with low levels of crime (reference). The favourable life outcomes that the better educated enjoy make it easier for them to express trust in others (REFERENCE).
- (2) Here are some results. The first thing we found is that what people know and what they do with what they know has a major impact on their life chances. You see that highly skilled adults are twice as likely to be employed and almost three-times more likely to earn an above-median salary than poorly skilled adults. In short, poor skills severely limit people’s access to better-paying and more-rewarding jobs. Highly skilled people are also more likely to volunteer, and they see themselves as actors rather than as objects of political process. People with better skills are even more likely to trust others, so trust isn’t just about how you were brought up or about the people with whom you live, it closely relates to your skills. And that tells us that we can do something about trust by giving people the right skills. And that’s important, because without trust in public institutions, public support for ambitious and innovative policies is hard to mobilise, particularly where we ask people to make short-term sacrifices for long-term benefits. Without trust, citizens and businesses also avoid taking risks, and delay decisions on investment and innovation that are so important. So in the end, fairness, integrity and inclusiveness in public policy all hinge on the skills of citizens.
