Home » Developing 21st Century skills in students

At Sekolah Sri UCSI Kuala Lumpur, we look Beyond Academics, preparing our students through personal actualisation skills of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, responsible decision-making and relationship skills. Our holistic approach to student development synergises the academic curriculum alongside 21st-century skills that prepare our students for careers in a fast-paced global economy. In line with that direction, our emphasis is on the core competencies of 21st-century skills, primarily the 5C’s of Education.

Critical Thinking

Critical Thinking, the first C, where students are trained to use a rational approach in all areas of their life, skilfully applying, analysing, synthesizing data and information through reflection and pattern observation.

Creativity

Creativity, the second C is where our creative teaching and learning methods allow students to be in “the Zone” where they are completely absorbed by their lessons. It opens their minds to other possibilities to understand their subject matter effectively.

Communication

Communication, is our third C. Communication skills are vital to a student’s academic success. The ability to articulate ideas, thought processes and engage in an emotionally intelligent way all comes down to excellent communication skills.

Collaboration

The fourth C, Collaboration is where SSU Kuala Lumpur fosters collaborative learning to develop higher level thinking, self-management and self – regulation skills. Collaboration cultivates empathy and understanding of others, brings a synergy that spurs a growth mindset.

Character

We place a huge emphasis on Character, the fifth C. We see character education as the shared responsibility of the SSU Kuala Lumpur community. Core values, ethics, integrity, emotional maturity and civic mindedness are some of the tenets in character education offered by UCSI Subang.

As a Microsoft Showcase School, we leverage digital tools to promote and enhance these competencies. Whether designing projects, collaborating on cloud-based platforms or participating in coding and robotics challenges. These experiences help students gain invaluable skills that bridge the gap between their academics and real-world applications.

At SSU Kuala Lumpur, we are committed to nurturing students’ self-confidence and independence, providing opportunities through a variety of internal events and initiatives. These programmes include internal events, community outreach, and extracurricular activities that allow students to reach their full potential.

By integrating these vital competencies into every aspect of our educational framework, we ensure that our students get the quality 21st-century education that helps them become well-rounded individuals. SSU KL provides the ideal platform to nurture these skills, offering a safe, supportive and innovative environment. Through our education, these students prepare to lead, inspire and make a meaningful impact on the world.
