Future Ready Curriculum(FRC)
A Future-Ready Curriculum is an educational framework designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and adaptability needed to succeed in an increasingly dynamic and technology-driven world. It emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, industry relevance, digital competency, and lifelong learning to prepare graduates for emerging challenges and opportunities.
Importance of a Future-Ready Curriculum
In a Future-Ready Curriculum (FRC), traditional exams are complemented or replaced by alternative assessments that focus on real-world applications, problem-solving, and student-centered learning. These assessments provide a more holistic evaluation of students' skills and competencies, ensuring they are prepared for industry and lifelong learning.

Alternative Assessment
- Authentic Assessment
- Students apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios rather than theoretical tests.
- Examples: Case studies, project-based assignments, industry-based problem-solving tasks.
- Performance-Based Assessment
- Measures students' ability to perform tasks or demonstrate skills in practical situations.
- Examples: Presentations, prototyping, coding challenges, design portfolios.
- Integrated Assessment
- Combines multiple learning areas into a single, comprehensive evaluation to reflect real-world complexity.
- Examples: Interdisciplinary projects, research-based assignments, cross-course problem-solving.
- Challenge-Based Assessment
- Students tackle real-world challenges and propose innovative solutions, often working collaboratively.
- Examples: Hackathons, design thinking challenges, sustainability projects.
- Personalized Assessment
- Adapted to individual learning styles, strengths, and career aspirations, allowing students to showcase their unique abilities.
- Examples: Self-directed projects, learning contracts, adaptive learning tasks.
- Profiling-Based Assessment
- Focuses on long-term skill development and competency mapping, assessing a student's progress over time.
- Examples: Digital portfolios, competency-based evaluations, personal development tracking.
