Drawing on Ulipsu\u2019s experience of working with more than 850 schools across six countries, Ms. Naveen explained how its structured programme integrates leadership development with emerging technologies. The initiative focuses on communication, self-leadership, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, innovation and problem-solving, alongside practical learning in artificial intelligence, coding, cybersecurity, data science and space technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A central theme of her presentation was the importance of measuring students\u2019 progress beyond conventional examination scores. The programme incorporates continuous assessments, hands-on projects and team-based activities to evaluate individual development, critical thinking and collaboration. Baseline and end-line assessments help schools identify learning gaps and track improvements over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms. Naveen also highlighted the value of application-based learning, explaining how students translate classroom concepts into practical projects, including road safety models and hydroelectric dam designs.
