21st Century Teaching Strategies - Project

The 21st Century Teaching Strategies project is committed to transforming education by equipping educators with modern, future-ready teaching methods that move beyond traditional rote learning. This initiative focuses on understanding diverse learning styles and needs, while encouraging inquiry-based, student-centered learning. We help educators foster environments where students actively engage, explore, and develop essential skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, preparing them for success in a rapidly changing world.

Key Impact

  • Over 100 educators trained in modern, student-centered teaching methods that address individual learning differences.


  • A curriculum shift that emphasizes inquiry-based learning, fostering deeper understanding and higher-order thinking.


  • Impacted over 10,000 students, with a 30% increase in student engagement and a 25% improvement in independent problem-solving skills.

How We’re Making a Difference

We empower educators to shift from rote memorization to inquiry-driven teaching, ensuring that students actively question, explore, and discover. Our approach includes:


  • Primary School Workshops: Focused on understanding individual learning differences and integrating interactive, inquiry-based learning strategies that make education more personalized and engaging. These workshops also emphasize Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), helping teachers support students’ emotional well-being while promoting resilience and empathy. We also focus on reading for meaning, empowering teachers to foster critical thinking and comprehension skills. Additionally, we equip teachers with strategies for better conflict resolution, increased student engagement, and collaboration with colleges to strengthen the pathway to higher education.


  • High School Workshops: Designed to prepare high school teachers for mentorship and leadership roles, guiding them to support students in developing adaptable skills for tertiary education and the workforce. We equip high school educators with the tools to help students navigate the challenges of higher education and career preparation.


  • Providing ongoing support through resources, technology integration, and project-based learning strategies that foster an adaptable, forward-thinking mindset in both teachers and students
