• "Life in the Skills Locker" shifts the focus towards the importance of soft skills, encouraging us to look beyond traditional academic metrics. The article underscores the significance of skills such as emotional intelligence and critical thinking for future success. Schools are gradually incorporating STEAM and problem-solving projects to prepare students for a rapidly changing world.
• "Knowledge is Power?" raises questions about the evolving role of memorization in our age of information abundance. While foundational knowledge remains essential, the emphasis is on cultivating agile learners who can apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.
• "Social Purpose: Real World Value or Virtual Signaling?" challenges us to reassess what authentic social impact means in educational settings. Driven by the interest of Gen Z in social and environmental causes, educational institutions are offering resources for impactful student-led initiatives.
