Going beyond the era of imparting basic skill competencies and knowledge transmitted to passive learners, most frameworks: 21st Century Skills Map, 2011; Pacific Policy, 2010; P21, 2007 [1-3] dated back in last 10-12 years label a good number of skills to be conveyed to learners to face twenty-first century demands. The list is long and mentioned in literature review. However, many think-tanks concur on developing the following four critical areas of learning that this present study also focuses exclusively: 1. Collaboration and teamwork. 2. Creativity and imagination. 3. Critical thinking. 4. Problem solving.
