Empowering students to innovate: India's journey towards a competency-based curriculum

India is implementing a New Education Policy (NEP), which aims to better serve the next generation of students by moving towards a competency-based curriculum that builds both knowledge and skills. As part of this plan, creativity and critical thinking will be explicitly taught as learnable skills.

Join us to explore India’s experience so far and what lessons can be learned regarding the integration of skills into teaching and learning at scale. The webinar is part of an OECD project on how creativity and critical thinking can be fostered and assessed in schools and implemented across education systems internationally.
