educational competencies

Educational competencies are specific skills, knowledge, and abilities that students are expected to develop through their learning experiences. They define what learners should know and be able to do after completing a course or program, guiding teachers in designing instruction and assessments. Competencies help ensure that education is focused on real-world applications, such as critical thinking, communication, or technical skills, preparing students for further education, careers, or responsible citizenship. Essentially, they are clear goalposts that represent meaningful and measurable learning outcomes.
