“The development of skills ( or competencies ) is essential to learning and education to help young people to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. All children and young people are entitled to opportunities for developing skills for learning, life and work.”

The WDC Competencies for Learning
The WDC Competencies for Learning focus on the essential skills that students need to thrive in today's world. We call them the 6 C's: creativity, communication, collaboration, citizenship, critical thinking skills, and character. By developing these competencies, students will be able to think creatively, express themselves effectively, work well with others, be responsible citizens, think critically, and possess strong character.
The framework is designed to be integrated into the curriculum, so students can learn and apply these skills in real-world contexts. With the 6 C's, students will be well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
