Participants, including educators, policymakers, and industry experts, expressed concerns that the existing framework fails to adequately prepare students for the challenges of today's fast-evolving job market. The forum highlighted an increasing disconnect between academic learning and practical skills required in various sectors.
Advocates for change argued that an updated curriculum should incorporate critical thinking, digital literacy, and vocational training to equip students with essential competencies.
