The document outlines a plan to foster students' creativity and critical thinking skills across different levels of education. It proposes aligning teaching, learning, and assessment between primary, secondary, and tertiary education. It also suggests scaling up prototype programs through development, pilot, and validation phases between 2018-2024. The goal is systemic change across primary, secondary, tertiary education and teacher training to improve these skills.
