Preparing Students for the 21st Century.

The world has proven to be in constant revolution mode whereby everything is rapidly

becoming complex, competitive, and digitized. As a result, we all need to have quick, sharp and

intelligent minds to catch up with the new system. To achieve this, we need to educate our children,

teach them how to be open-minded, quick to understand, develop critical thinking skills, curiosity

and analytical skills to enable them balance with the ever-changing world. The education systems

are therefore needed to change the phase of the curriculum programs. They are expected to prepare

the best learning programs that will prepare our school children to meet and cope up with the new

changing world. Therefore, this paper exhaustively elaborates on issues that need to be

incorporated into the education systems so that schools can prepare individuals who can fit into

the 21

century.

Schools should prepare children to develop critical thinking skills. Children are not only

supposed to think and solve problems in normal ways, but also, they need to look into such

problems in a more diverse way or in all different angles and formulate the possible solution to the

problem (Abeles et al., 2010, p. 46). This way, children develop great learning abilities to fit into

any competitive world. Therefore, it is imperative to incorporate such fundamental skills in

education to bring up straight and viable individuals in the society.

As educators, parents and advocates of the societies, we need to push forth the agendas

necessary in developing and producing school children that possess the quality leadership skills in

their learning process. The current world is diverse and complex, and it needs people who exhibit

quality leadership skills to fit into the competitive positions that call for outstanding qualifications

to secure excellent employments ("How to Prepare Students For 21st Century Survival," 2015).

Having such programs that inculcate the leadership skills in the education sector, then we are

guaranteed of the best opportunities for children to grow and learn in a better way that make them

more diverse in their learning process.

In summary, there is a gent need for schools to prepare children so that they can fit into

their future lives. The 21

century has proven to be very competitive in terms of employment,

innovation, entrepreneurship among many more things. Therefore, it is mandatory for schools to

make learning a preparation for the competitive future. They should learn critical thinking skills,

leadership, entrepreneurship skills, exquisite communication, and innovative skills to fit into the

contemporary 21

century.
