21^st century classroom

The much-awaited concept of 21^st century classroom was formally inaugurated by Dasho principal today. The new transformative style of teaching, the 21^st century pedagogy, has been introduced after much deliberation at the national level and at the school level to meet the requirements of modern learning. The new strategy will involve pupil-centred learning where the teachers will be the facilitators. There will be more interactive classes and the use of information technology will be a prominent classroom feature hereafter. The use of technologies has become inevitable in acquainting students with the everyday changes of world. Thus it will be an important asset.

In an ideal setting of a 21^st century classroom, the classes will be spacious and the number of students will be reduced so as to allow easy interactive sessions. Learning will be fun and there will be many classes involving learning through firsthand experiences. There will also be several ‘Brain Breaks’ in the form of songs and gestures during classes to help retain students’ attention. Therefore, the introduction of the new concept will be a boon to student-friendly learning.
