21st century skills focus on life, career, learning, innovation, and technology skills needed for students to succeed in the 21st century. It involves a shift from passive to active student engagement where students take ownership of their learning and teachers facilitate learning experiences rather than deliver instruction. 21st century skills also include core subjects that revolve around developing holistic learning through components like critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and problem solving.

Student Engagement

himself from being a passive member into
an active participant, and is becoming a
conscious leader of his personal lifelong
learning path.

7. Shift #2: Teacher as Facilitator
of Learning

and perform their multiple roles of guides,
facilitators and learning advisers.

of learning experiences rather than the
deliverer of these experiences.
