“Education thus, must move towards less content, and more towards learning about how to think critically and solve problems, how to be creative”.
The National Education Policy 2020 recommends a move away from a curriculum based on rote learning, heavy with content to a curriculum based on skills, with less content. The Magical Leaders programme uses a peer tutoring pedagogy to enable students to learn and practice 21st century skills. The programme takes a systematic approach to learning and practicing the 4 Cs.
The programme is based on the real life experience of a diverse group of Entrepreneurs.

School Testimonials
The group activities were great, the kids got into some good discussions. I think the favourite activity was the giving feedback. They absolutely loved that! They had never gotten the opportunity to do something like that before and they really enjoyed it.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well some of the less confident pupils stepped up and were able to lead some of the activities.
