Experimental learning in mathematics, science, and social science; project-based learnings; research based year-long studies; development of artistic and literary talents; and training in visual and performing arts are just a few to mention. These strategies not only strengthen pupils’ cognitive experience, but also help accelerate their later learnings and give a new and deeper dimension to learning itself.
