The New Education Policy imagines a classroom where you\’re not just memorizing facts, but building a bookshelf, tending a garden, or shaping clay into a masterpiece. Sounds pretty awesome, right? That\’s the future of education, and it\’s all about equipping students with the life skills and capacity building resources to thrive in a changing world.

Forget the textbook-heavy curriculum of the past. Today\’s education is embracing hands-on learning and real-world experiences. Between grades 6-8, students will embark on a \”skills safari,\” exploring a variety of vocational crafts like carpentry, electric work, metalworking, gardening, pottery making, and more. This isn\’t just about learning how to use tools; it\’s about discovering hidden talents, developing problem-solving skills, and building confidence.

The good news is, this skills-focused learning doesn\’t end in middle school. Throughout high school, students can continue exploring their interests through online courses, holiday workshops, and even longer-term internships. It\’s like building a personal \”skill-o-matic\” toolkit, packed with knowledge and experience that will prepare you for any path you choose.

Everyone needs some things to succeed in life, even if you choose different subjects. These things are like superpowers that help you be good, successful, and ready for anything. Think of it like learning cool skills to be a superhero in today\’s fast-paced world.
