The Future of Education: Beyond the Boundaries of the CAPS Curriculum

by

The CAPS curriculum is like a strict school rulebook that focuses on memorizing facts instead of sparking creativity and critical thinking. This can make it hard for kids to gain the skills they’ll need in a future filled with robots and new technology. A father, Gasant Abarder, worries that even though his talented daughter does great in school, traditional learning might not be enough for her to succeed in a changing world. To help kids prepare, parents and teachers must look beyond the classroom and encourage fun activities that inspire imagination and problemsolving. By doing this, we can help children grow into confident creators and thinkers ready to face whatever comes next.
