P21 frameworkfor 21st century learning is one of the models established to illustrate the adoption of 21st centuryskills in education.8 Within this framework for 21st century learning, there are four categories ofskills and knowledge that students should master in order to succeed in the workforce. These arecategorized as: 1) core subjects and themes, 2) learning and innovation skills, 3) technologyskills, and 4) life and career skills.8 Learning
