Adopt a teaching strategy that places a higher priority on student-centered learning and encourages the acquisition of critical thinking and information evaluation abilities rather than rote learning. To improve the teaching and learning practices of academic staff members, implement comprehensive pedagogical training programmes. Encourage and enable faculty-student interdisciplinary collaboration, including relevant knowledge and skills into the learning process. Encourage equal access to education for all students, irrespective of their socioeconomic status, language, religion, ethnicity, race, or any other characteristic that might lead to discriminatory actions. To keep up with the rapid advances in information technology, foster the development of self-directed learning skills and attitudes that support lifelong learning.
