 POEM

Digital age is here, marked by fast changing technology

Lased with AI and automation, world demands new skills

Students, teachers and system, all need to change

All must brace 21st-century with skills training drills

 Critical thinking is the most keen and sharp tool

To give-n-analyse experiences right from preschool

  Puzzles for problem-solving be rightly created-n- laid

With good reasoning –n- ethics, solutions be made.

 Communication, a bridge across various role players

To share thoughts, co-learn and build capacities fair

Collaboration and teamwork are to be put in place

Where diverse minds ignite creativity in time-n-space 

Creativity needs emphasis to experiment ‘n set us free

To paint new emerging world, innovate with joy-n-glee.

Adaptations and innovations are fires, burning ever bright

To meet challenges in future together with all our might

 In digital economy, digital literacy is the key to unlock

Acquire capacity to process boundless knowledge ‘n rock.

Adaptability is to be honed as a compass true and bold

To learn and grow, the innate potentials are to unfold.

 4C skills are to be mastered by teachers ‘n learners alike

Critical thinking and creativity are most needed strikes

Followed by communication and Collaboration skills

To conquer the real  world challenges and  foot the bill
