“Knowing is not enough; We must apply. Willing is not enough; We must do”– Bruce Lee.

There is an ongoing debate whether education should be about getting students to know more facts or should it be about encouraging them to solve problems? Knowledge or skills? The choice is really between having a chair without the seat or the legs. The current call-out to skilled-based education comes from the age-long focus solely on knowledge and grades. The modern society is moving on from subject experts with zero skills. There is always a need to know and subjects should be designed to feed and spur curiosity rather than being spoon-fed. Either way both of these cannot exist without the other, and they’re both very crucial in building careers.

Schools impart textbook knowledge through rote learning but all that deems to be ineffective as soon as you step into the real world when building a career demands communication skills, management skills and technical skills. These are not taught in schools but are crucial for your development. This is where Online Live Learning can step in and help you outside your classrooms. Schools can teach you how to write but we can teach you how to upgrade it and actually put it to use. It is similar to trying to become the best version of yourself. The idea behind this in-demand learning method is to develop learners into independent thinkers and prepare them for the challenges in the future. We are the key to connecting you to the next level.
