Why do young people need this
skill?
- because it is the most fundamental ability that allows individuals and
groups to solve all manner of problems in their lives. They could be
academic, work-related or even personal issues.

The value of critical thinking for young people can be summarized thus:

1. IN ACADEMICS

- At any level of education, fostering a strong ability in critical thinking

is a clear precursor to greater academic success for students. Critical
thinking forms the foundation of just about every important academic
skill you would care to name.

2. IN EVERYDAY LIFE

- Another way of describing critical thinking is simply the ability to

think clearly and remain rational when faced with a problem or
difficulty.

3. IN OUR CAREERS

- The 21st century is the home of the new knowledge economy.

- Now, intellectual skills, creativity, analytical ability and other related
skills are prized above anything else. The ability to absorb, understand
and apply information at a fast pace is crucial, and that’s something you
gain from critical thinking.

4. IN OTHER IMPORTANT SKILLS SETS

- Critical thinking is like one of those fundamental cooking ingredients

that help to define a regional or national cuisine. It’s the “staple” of our
intellectual world. 
 WAYS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO
LEARN CRITICAL THINKING

>Getting into the outdoors and engaged in fun activities is
the first great way to boost critical thinking skills. As we mentioned,
thinking critically is a foundational problem-solving skill. 

AFTER-SCHOOL LEARNING
> When class is over, finding some time each day or
each week to engage in additional learning is an effective way to bring
critical thinking directly to the academic space.

OFFERING RESPONSIBILTY

thinking. It is when meeting the challenge of responsibility that young
people most often get the chance to exercise their critical thinking skills.

Reflection
Critical thinking skills to the 21st century means to think critically to
form a concept and thoughts more vividly. Critical thinking empowers
students to discover the truth in assertions, especially when it comes to
separating fact from opinion. With critical thinking, students don't just
learn a set of facts or figures. Instead, they learn how to discover the
facts and figures for themselves. They ask questions. Critical thinking
can help you better understand yourself, and in turn, help you avoid any
kind of negative or limiting beliefs, and focus more on your strengths.
Being able to share your thoughts can increase your quality of life.
