Its the most challenging question at present in this rapidly changing world. The four pillars of education coming out of the World Conference on Education in Jomtien, Thailand in 1990 can be taken as the point of departure: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together and learning to be. They are elaborated in the following link:

Learning to know needs much emphasis at present day world because everything cannot be taught - knowledge is getting so vast. Even the skills are so rapidly changing. In a French review of their education system at the turn of millennium, they came up with the term adaptability in answer to the same question. You can not predict so rapidly changing trends - the best you can do is to prepare people to adapt to the situation. It more concretely applies in the skills (learning to do).

One has to translate these pillars into one's context. First condition of adaptability is to learn that everything is contextual and at the same time there is a core that is applicable everywhere.
