Fostering the journey from “I can’t” to “I can”. At APS, Ghaziabad, we unveil the magic of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) through Oluxi Smart Skills. It’s where we equip students with essential life skills so that they succeed in school, relationships, and life. Why Smart Skills? It’s a world of skills. Not just coding and AI, but soft skills that are transferable. So, building and polishing powerful traits is no longer optional—it’s essential. Let data speak for itself: Employers place emphasis on soft skills like communication, teamwork, and adaptability. They have become a top hiring criterion, even over technical skills.
