Meanwhile, Mann highlighted the importance of focusing on practical skills that students can benefit
from in various fields, referring to what is now known as ‘green skills’. She explained that these skills
include problem-solving, research, and effective decision-making, which enhance individuals’ readiness

for the fast-evolving labor market.

Furthermore, Mann stressed that the basic skill that must be enhanced is ‘how to learn’ itself, as a
student cannot succeed without having the ability to engage in a sustainable learning journey.
Developing these skills requires comprehensive government support and the use of knowledge

channels to bridge the gaps in the educational process. Mann also pointed out that teachers need to
acquire new skills and adopt modern teaching methods to align with current developments, creating a
more comprehensive educational experience for future generations.
