Education needs routine, order and discipline
Most importantly, education needs to be incorporated with the motivation to learn and this voices down to our teachers who inspire and spark that want to learn and thirst for more knowledge in our students.

All of which cannot be done by technology. Thus technology can never fully take over the role of an educator as students cannot be given full responsibility of their learning, Students require guidance from an learned  adult to guide them through their educational pathway, to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge, deliver effective character building and soft-skills, to nurture and shape them into future-ready leaders of the working society in the 21st century.

The main point of this article is that students should view exams and assessments as a form of milestone checkpoint/ feedback of their learning progress for further improvement. Instead of viewing exams as something that define who they are as a person and focusing on the marks and grades, they should focus more on the learning process and skills acquired as these are the things that will follow them through life.
For example, the O-level English Oral exams is carefully designed to hone students' skills in becoming a good speaker and conversationalist in school, social and even future work settings. This shows that the exams are crafted to best cater to the needs of our students' future in the working society in the near future, such that these skills learnt are relevant and applicable in real life.

The ability to sustain a conversation and stay up-to-date on the current affairs is a immensely helpful tool in order to survive in the working world.

what we learn in school can come in useful after graduation/joining the workforce in these ways:
> Tests helps us gauge our capabilities and improve on them. It acts as a feedback for future improvements
> The O level English Oral helps use to hone our speaking and conversation skills through the carefully crafted rubrics
I am so confused 🌚

# data[].attributes.body
Examination scores are usually viewed as a projection of ones intellectual aptitude. However, there is another perspective where one can view this - as constructive criticism and  feedback. Of course, learning to take it as feedback is much harder than taking it as a reflection of ones intelligence, especially if a lot of effort has been put into studying for the exam. However, one of the qualities of a learner that one might pick up from studying for exams may is taking the experience learning from the mistakes you made in the exam. Very much like in a office, you make a mistake and you learn from it to guarantee that you never make the same one again. A very useful skill of taking criticism and turning it into a helpful source of feedback.

Another way that learning for exams may also be learning for life is studying for languages. English, Chinese, Malay, in Singapore these are the major languages used. Studying for something like the O-Level oral communication component for example, the skills that one may learn from studying for the exam are many. Skills like articulation, pace, fluency and well-chosen vocabulary are all skills needed to be a eloquent English speaker. Such skills are huge assets, no matter what the industry. Having well-developed linguistic skills are imperative for any job, from applying for a job to communicating with coworkers. Linguistic skills picked up from studying for exams will be huge assets for anybody.

as technology is slowly being incorporated to every aspect in our daily lives ( entertainment,work ), it is important to know how to use basic tools,apps and platforms in order for us to get basic tasks done in the future.
-self-discipline
self-discipline is crucial when studying as we do not always have our teachers around us to ''push'' us to study. we should resist temptations such as using the internet or sleeping and prioritise our schoolwork. we should learn how to stay motivated and driven in order for us to suceed.
-communication
in many situations, we would have to work with others, for example during school projects or even work projects. communication is important when making decisions as one miscommunication could cause the project to go haywire, and conflict between group members will begin. we must be able to talk and listen to others in order to get a well-rounded result.

# data[].attributes.body
The 3 most important skills to me are :
1) Resilience(soft skills)
2) Communication(inter-personal skills)
3) Growth mindset(positive attitude)

Reasons:
In life, especially during work, we will have to face with many challenges and setbacks that will knock us over along the way. Thus, we have to be dauntless so that we have the strength to carry on the treacherous journey that lies ahead of us. We must always remind ourselves that no matter how dark times may be, we will eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel. Tell ourselves we can do it, believe in ourselves and we're already halfway there. If we fall, we have to bounce back up to where we were before just like a ball. We must learn from our mistakes and grow stronger then we were before. Therefore, I feel that resilience and having a growth mindset is very applicable and essential  to possess in the 21st century.

When we meet/ face with challenges, know that we are never alone. Our family,friends and even colleagues are here for us. Share our difficulties with them and who knows, they may even be able to 'crack the code' to the seemingly daunting problem.
In the workplace, its never a one-man show.(even superheroes work in teams) There must be effective communication among colleagues to get the job done at the end of the day. Through communication, we can get to know one another better, work out our differences, work better with one another, forge healthy relationships and many more benefits. On the other hand, miscommunications can lead to misunderstandings, conflict and tension among colleagues, creating a toxic work environment. Hence, this is why I feel inter-personal skills is  very crucial in the 21st century.

In my opinion, students will never really get to fully develop these skills if they continue staying in their own comfort zone and never having to face any real-life challenges/ difficulties /hardships before. In school, students are so protected by their teachers and parents that they are oblivious to what is happening in the outside world. For example, current affairs as they rather go onto social media platforms such as TikTok or Instagram than watch the news every now and then so as to keep themselves updated.
Other than hosting camps and Values-In-Action projects/activities that are only temporary and thus may not impart much knowledge and real-life skills to students in such a short time frame, schools could consider creating a GAP year or half a year(preferably after Secondary 3) where students have to find a part-time job and create a monthly log/ reflection on what were the challenges they faced in their workplace,how did the problem arise, how did they resolve it and what were the key learning takeaways.
By doing so, students are hence better able to experience working in society, broaden their perspective,go through some hardships,know how difficult it is to earn a living, being able to better appreciate their parents and at the same time, gain some life experiences and come back to school as a more mature and sensible person.

for ict literacy, teachers should post tutorials/videos of how to use basic digital tools. that way, students can watch and learn beforehand or refer to it when they are facing troubles. teachers should also expose students to different digital platforms frequently, allowing them to adapt and get used to using digital materials to complete their work.
for other skills such as critical thinking and problem solving, schools can conduct courses,workshops or part-time opportunities of their interest for the students to experience challenges and the working world first hand. this way, students are able to pick up new skills in different aspects, enhance their leadership qualities and learn how to solve problems fast and effectively.

ICT Literacy
Adaptability
Positive Mindset

Technology is getting more advanced nowadays and more companies out there are looking for people who are familiar with technology, hence, we have to pick up skills that will help prepare us for that. By adapting and have a positive mindset, we are able to be flexible and make adjustments when we stumble upon a problem, instead of having a rigid mindset, not willing to make space for change especially in a society with constant development and change.

explanation: ict skills are an essential requirement for majority of job roles, it helps us organise our workload, and access digital information.
communication
sometimes we will need to ask for help or work with others to complete an important task. having communication skills allows us to work with others efficiently and quickly.
adaptability
The world is changing fast and we will need to be able to change and adapt to the new world. When we are put in a different scenario than what we are used to, we need to be able to adapt quickly and do what is needed

- Self-discipline, because you need to make sure to keep yourself in-check and not procrastinate too much
- Growth mindset, because if students keep thinking that they are a failing they would never be able to accomplish anything

Ict skills
-We live in a time where being tech-savy is a necessity. Also in this current period of time of the pandemic, lots of our basic ict skills is used be it doing assignments online or knowing how to go for online classes. Hence, having ict skills is an important skill.
Self-discipline
-Only by having self-discipline then one can progress far. Self-discipline helps us to stay focus on our goals or what we want to achieve. This skill of us is also needed due to the pandemic owing to Home-Based Learning(HBL). Hence, self-discipline is an important skill needed to be successful in life.
Learning from our mistakes
-Many of times people treat mistakes as failure but in fact it is a stepping-stone to success. Even though we make mistakes, as long as we learn from them, we still would have benefited. However, if we treat it as a failure and refuse to reflect or learn from it, we have basically wasted our time. Everyone is bound to make mistakes in life but what distinguish successful people from unsuccessful people is that successful people learn from their mistakes and do not commit the same one again. Hence, learning from our mistakes is an important skill.

Resilience
- This is because I often face difficulty or challenges throughout my school life, so it is important to have resilience to recover quickly from difficulties. Furthermore, it is essential for students to have resilience and to not give up so easily after facing challenges. Instead, they could pick themselves up by finding ways to solve the problems that they face and emerge stronger than they were before.

ICT literacy
- Technology is constantly advancing, and schools are starting to integrate technology into studying. Thus, it is important for me to be skillful in using digital technology.

Communication skills
- When entering the workforce, we often have meetings or have to interact with many clients, so we need communication skills to communicate more effectively.

1. Self-discipline
- Self-discipline is an important factor which we need, by allowing us to concentrate in things we do and stay away from our temptations, it not only serves to be a skill but relate to our other skills such as, responsibility, resilience and more.
2.Responsibility
- Responsibility is a requirement in our life, being responsible to ourselves especially. If there is an issue, we should take the responsibility to come up with an solution, instead of running away from the problem. This is to give an explanation to others and to ourself.
3.Adaptability
- Our life is constantly changing, changing from our school life to work, changing from staying with parents to staying alone, changing from a receiver to a giver. we can never always stay in our comfort zone, the only way to keep up with life is to walk out and adapt to the adjustments.

1) communication skills
2) discipline
3) flexibility

1) communication skills is one of the most important soft skills that an individual needs. Communication skills is used on a daily basis for us to send our thoughts, feelings and opinions clearly to the opposite party without any miscommunication. With good communication skills, it allow us to get the job done much more effectively.

2) Discipline is a value that every successful person have. It is one's choice to decide and commit their time to finish their task even when they do not feel like doing so. It is putting in more effort compared to others. Only with discipline, comes result.

3) Flexibility is a important mindset one should have in the working world. The world is changing, so are the jobs, the method used, and the approach to tackle certain problem. Hence, when we stumble into obstacles, we should not be stunned or dumbfounded. Instead,we should look for alternatives to tackle the problem. Flexibility is not used when facing obstacles but also needed in time management.

# data[].attributes.body
schools can organize workshops and courses for skills which can be taught like communication skills. for skills which cannot be taught, schools could plan CCE activities for students to develop those skills

# data[].attributes.body
ict literacy:
-it is important to be tech-savvy as technology is advanced in the present days. society is becoming more reliance on technology like digital payment and online classes. hence we have to know and keep up with the technological trends.

self-discipline:
-it is important to have self discipline in order to work towards our goals and accomplish things. it helps us in time management and to organize heavy workload.

communication:
it is important to be able to communicate effectively with one another so that we are able to express our opinions clearly and avoid misunderstandings. communication skill is important for working in a team

# data[].attributes.body
The schools can host workshops that harness students with public speaking. This gives the students a chance to speak up to the class or in front of the whole school. Communication skills can be practised, hence, by giving students a chance to practise this skill that they learn would definitely come in handy.Schools can also teach students how to prioritise their time during CCE lessons. In addition, they can also host workshops for critical thinking to allow students to think of different ways to solve the problem . Lastly, i feel that self discipline cannot be taught. All the teachers can do would be reminding students to not procrastinate and hand in work on time. However, it is our choice to make if we want to do so. Thus, discipline can only come truly from oneself,once they understood the importance of it.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Self-discipline
Self discipline is important as it ensures that we complete our tasks instead of side tracking. Being discipline also helps us to take responsibility of our own actions. For instance doing consistent revision, homework etc. We will not always have our parents or teachers by our sides, so we need to e self-disciplined to remind ourselves to prioritise important matters instead of doing other things less important.

2) Being technologically savvy
Technology is and always will be advancing, therefore to ensure that we're not laid back or becoming unknown about technology, we need to take on related skills, upgrade them and be more familiar with it.

3) Resilience
We can never 'escape' from challenges, and we will face some setbacks. But life does not stop till the minute our body stops working, therefore we should have perseverance for every aspect in life. Giving up does not make us succeed, it only limits our abilities. Having resilience helps us grow, which can take us further to greater heights in life we have never been before.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Adaptability
Nothing is certain in our lives, things can change at any moment and we have to be able to adapt accordingly to keep up. For example, many companies have had to lay off employees due to the pandemic. Those who were able to adapt well took on other jobs to earn money.
2. ICT skills
Being able to make use of technology effectively will benefit us. It allows us to access a wide variety of information, manage our lives and most importantly, many jobs require ICT skills.
3. Communication
We have to be able to communicate our thoughts and opinions clearly in order to succeed. It prevents misunderstandings and conflict resolution. It helps to keep our relationships healthy

# data[].attributes.body
1) It is not easy to teach others to be self-disciplined, but it can be trained. Perhaps the school can teach students to come up with a study plan that they can follow, give constant reminders to complete their tasks.

2) Schools can invite vendors to hold workshops, teaching students different levels of digital literacy skills. As each students clears each level, their skills become more advance, feeling more confident and familiar with using technology for beneficial purposes

3) Schools can tell students to be resilient, not teach them to be resilient. However, some of the ways that can motivate students to be more resilient will be to encourage them to pursue their interest and work on it.

# data[].attributes.body
ICT skills can be taught by providing students with ICT skills lessons on Student Learning Space (SLS). Not all students have the same skill level, some are more skilled than others and some are not as skilled. Therefore, to cater to everyone's needs, the lessons should have different difficulty levels and allow the students to choose which level is the best for them. This prevents the lower-skilled students from being left behind and the higher-skilled students from being bored.

Communication skills can be taught in schools by increasing the amount of oral communication practices in class.

# data[].attributes.body

self discipline, communication and literacy

reasons : for me, its important to practice self discipline because i need to learn to be independent and take responsibility of my own time and actions. communication is also one of the most important ones for me because i feel that communicating with other people will definitely reduce conflicts and misunderstandings in the future. Lastly, literacy is really crucial because i have to learn how to articulate what i want to say efficiently so that other people understand me.
