Future friendly school should be based on practical work.
Based on social and moral values, today we are unable to provide moral education in the school. Present education is becoming on the basis of grade. No body thinking about values, students should learn all human values which is more important for overall development.

Communicate effectively, collaborate, create, investigate the world & their neighborhood, service learning, take action to solve problems
Students should be able to communicate effectively and collaborate with a variety of people - from peers to adults.

Students need to be critically aware of the impact that their life choices have on people everywhere in the world, including the local
The impact of everything we use/ purchase has an effect on both the environment and other people. What were the conditions that it was made under? Are they fair? If not, what are you supporting? Does it match your values, if not why do you have it? What is the environmental impact (water/carbon footprint) ? do you drive? or fly? what is your carbon footprint? learn to reduce it. what is your human footprint? It is crucial that we empower ourselves and understand the personal responsibility that we all have. Think and act Holistically.
