This document discusses the importance of developing 21st century skills in students. It outlines 10 key skills: verbal communication, teamwork, commercial awareness, analyzing and investigating, initiative/self-motivation, determination, written communication, planning and organizing, flexibility, and time management. It emphasizes that education needs to shift from an exam-oriented approach to developing these lifelong skills. The role of teachers is also discussed, highlighting that teachers should light the fire of curiosity in students rather than just filling them with information.
