We take a lot of pride in saying we have a good education system, and that the JEE is the toughest exam in the world. Mr. Narayana Murthy's son got into Harvard with a full scholarship, but could not get through IIT, which goes on to prove the reputation of the elite institutions that India has. But, are our students ready to face the challenges of tomorrow, of the future? 

Studies show that there is a gap between what the corporates expect out of fresh graduates and the skills that the youth has, in recent times. For example, a study suggests that around 45% of employers globally and 56% of them in India report that they cannot find the candidate they look for, with the right skills. In order to bridge this gap, the necessary skills will have to be inculcated in learners at an early stage.

The world has become one global community, making communication and collaboration easier and more necessary than ever. Thus, in order to succeed or prove yourself at your workplace, there are a set of skills and capabilities that you have to display in order to meet the organization’s expectations. The skills that are required in the 21st -century and called the 21st -century skills. They include communication, collaboration, information literacy, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, to name a few.

When a person acquires these 21st-century skills, it gives them an upper hand when looking from the employability perspective. Consider this – Would you hire someone who is receptive to positive criticism and believes in giving one for improving the organizational space or someone who is merely inflexible? Governments around the world are focusing on 21st-century skills and education and improvising on their policies to fill the gap, but, unless they are looking at this from the sustainability point of view, we will be losing out on a few important elements. According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, sustainable education can enable the youth to make decisions on their own and understand how those decisions will affect them and the future generations.

We at Brainwiz are using the pedagogies that affect the 21st-century skills and socio-emotional learning of students directly. With focussed intervention through analyzing the progress made by students at various steps, we not only design programs for enhanced learning outcomes but also are able to provide key insights to the institution for their future programs. Our online learning platform for learners and capacity building programs for educators ensure that learning is continuous and sustainable.
