When parents think of primary school education, the first image that comes to mind is textbooks, exams, and rote memorisation. But modern education is evolving — and so are the needs of our children. The 21st-century learner requires more than memorising facts; they need to understand concepts that help them apply knowledge in real life. This is where concept-based learning comes in, redefining how children learn and grow.
At IKV – Indira Krishna Vidyashala, Bangalore, we have embraced concept-based learning in our primary classrooms to prepare children for not just academic success, but life beyond school. In this article, let us explore the top 5 benefits of concept-based learning, why it is essential in primary school education, and how it helps children develop a deeper love for learning.
