10. Solutions should be Must
Ensure that Education for All
(EFA) remains a priority on the
global agenda.
Support countries’ efforts to meet
the six EFA goals by 2015, with a
specific emphasis on equity.
• Sustainable development.
• Inclusion.
• Social cohesion and social justice.
• Life-long learning.
• Higher education and research.
Act beyond this :

11. Do not readily find solutions
for Students:
Identify even the simplest tasks as a
problem for them to solve .
Young children often get upset if they do
not immediately have a chair to sit in ,
can not find the crayon they want , or
accidently rip the paper they are working
on.
Critical Thinking in the Elementary Classroom :
Problems and Solutions
Solutions should be proposed
• Try to provide a wide variety of
materials and tools and give
very broad instructions.
Encourage
Creativity:
• Because so much critical
thinking at this age is done
aloud for the student’s brain
improvement.
Always seek
opportunities for
brainstorming :
Compare and
Contrast
anything and
everything :
This will help to a student to
look closely at details and to
think about the purpose and
significance of each one.
