With the rapid expansion of ICT, schools need to ensure that they are developing the right skills in students that will equip them to be happy, fulfilled but also competitive in a world fraught with challenges and uncertainty.

While many argue that it is the entire schooling system that is at fault or that we need to redesign our curriculum, I believe that the real question is today where it has always been and will always be: not in the structure or the content of education (although these factors are still important) but in the teaching and learning.
