Education has leaped to new highs in the 21st century – both in terms of syllabus and delivery of the syllabus. With the advent of new-age learning techniques, schools need to incorporate them into everyday teaching.<\/p>\n

A 21st century learner is someone who is not just familiar with the latest technology but is capable and competent in gathering useful information using digital resources. They are likely to have a strong interest in current events and social issues with a high awareness of global perspectives and cultural diversity.<\/p>\n

Schools that cater to Generation Alpha and above, must have specially designed, dedicated facilities that evoke rich learning experiences and create higher levels of engagement among students for deeper benefit.<\/p>\n

What do dedicated spaces imply in the context of primary schools?<\/h2>\n

Experts insist on imbibing the four core values of collaboration, communication, creativity and critical-thinking among students from a young age. These 4Cs – when weaved into the school curriculum through fun and interactive spaces – give students bigger avenues to explore and innovate, as well as deeper knowledge of things learnt on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Schools that provide great facilities in the form of dedicated spaces for these activities reap richer benefits for their students.<\/p>\n

Such spaces imply exclusive areas in the school premise that help the students learn beyond the four walls of the classroom. They offer tools and platforms to cultivate 21st century skills among primary school students\u00a0 beyond the confines of a traditional classroom.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see how dedicated spaces and custom-designed facilities at primary school<\/a> foster the 4Cs of 21st century learning among students:<\/p>\n

Dedicated spaces for Collaboration<\/h3>\n

Collaboration is one of the soft-skills that students must learn in order to prepare themselves for the future. Traditional classrooms foster only limited collaboration under the supervision of teachers. However, new age collaboration requires independent team-work and a flexible environment where students can freely interact and brainstorm with peers.<\/p>\n

Dedicated spaces like Student Lounges and Learning Commons or unique learning spaces between two classes at GIIS are great examples that facilitate collaboration. Primary students are often seen using these facilities to work together on\u00a0 assignments and brainstorm on team projects. Equipped with TV screens, and wifi facilities, the classrooms and the campus enable students to research online, and reach out to experts at the click of a button when necessary.<\/p>\n
