At its core, 21st Century Teaching and Learning recognises to equip students with diverse skill sets to thrive in times characterised by rapid tech led advancements, globalisation, and social and environmental structures. Skills namely critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, digital literacy, and agility prepare students for academic successes, and can make them solve real-world problems, think innovatively, work effectively in teams, and communicate ideas with ease and confidence. Thus, today’s teachers must be progressively be ready to churn out the students with such abilities.

1. Student-centric teaching and learning is the way forward and is about creating an encouraging environment in the (online/offline/hybrid) classrooms that is exploratory, discussion based, experiential and engaging.
