In the 21st century, teachers require communication and collaboration skills to foster a dynamic learning environment. Critical thinking and creativity empower educators to adapt to evolving challenges, while information technology skills enable effective integration of digital tools, ensuring they remain adept and relevant in today's tech-driven educational landscape.
Addressing issues of the holistic education system, the manual is divided into two parts. The first part covers training focusing on ICT and 21st century skills in school-level education, while the second explores ICT and 21st century skills integration in higher education. During the development process, Nepal Open University contributed Part 1 and ODEC, Tribhuvan University Part 2.
