Competencies help individuals act autonomously, adapt, and solve problems in uncertain, fast-changing environments.

They enable individuals to act effectively and ethically across diverse contexts—professionally, socially, and personally.

Teaching strategies must be participatory and contextualized, linking academic content to real-life problems and encouraging responsibility and self-regulation.

They must be facilitators who design learning environments, foster innovation, guide reflection, and adapt teaching to student needs. Continuous teacher training is essential in this transformation.

Effective evaluation methods must go beyond memorization and assess how students apply their competencies. Real-world tasks, teamwork, and problem-solving should be central to assessment.
