Attributes
of 21 st

Century
Education
Integrated and Interdisciplinary
Education in the 21st century is characterized by
interfacing various disciplines in an integrated
manner rather than compartmentalizing its
subsequent parts. This critical attribute implies
the need to review the curriculum and create
strategies infusing different subjects towards
enhancing the learning experiences of students.
Technologies and Multimedia
Education in the 21st century makes optimum
use of available ICT as well as multimedia to
improve the teaching and learning process. It
implies a need to acquire and use computers
and multimedia equipment and the design of a
technology plan to enhance learning at its best.
Global Classrooms
Education in the 21st century aims to produce
global citizens by exposing students to the issues
and concerns in the local, national, and global
societies. This critical attribute implies the need
to include current global issues/concerns such
as peace and respect for cultural diversity,
climate change, and global warming in
classroom discussions.
Creating/Adapting to Constant
Personal and Social Change and
Lifelong Learning
Education in the 21st century subscribes to the
belief that learning does not end within the four
walls of the classroom. Instead, it can take
place anywhere, anytime regardless of age. This
means that teachers should facilitate students’
learning even beyond academics.
Student-Centered
Education in the 21st century is focused on
students as learners while addressing their
needs. Differentiated instruction is relevant in this
setup, where diversity factors and issues are
taken into account.
21st Century Skills
Education in the 21st century demonstrates the
skills needed in becoming productive members
of the society. Beyond learning the basic skills,
students should also develop life and work skills
in 21st century communities. Hence, teachers
should possess these skills first before their
students.
Project-Based and Research-
Driven
Education in the 21st century emphasized data,
information, and evidenced-based decision-
making through student activities that
encourage active learning. This implies the need
for knowledge and skills in research.
Relevant, Rigorous, and Real
World
Education in the 21st century is meaningful as it
connects to real-life experiences of learners. It
implies the use of current and relevant
information linked to real-life situations and
contexts.
