Relevant and holistic curriculum: Developing a curriculum that is relevant to the needs of students and society, incorporating a wide range of subjects, including science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), as well as promoting critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
5. Monitoring and evaluation: Establishing mechanisms to monitor and evaluate the quality of education, including student learning outcomes, teacher performance, and school infrastructure. This helps identify areas for improvement and ensures accountability.
