Evolved understanding of the knowledge process, coupled with integration and access to technology, have redefined learning in schools. Impact of good education is captured by a generation working together and solving real world problems. Jobs today already demand self-driven, motivated teams who conceptualize and implement solutions on the spot while being concerned with others’ well-being.
