Critical thinking is a cornerstone of quality education, empowering students to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information in a meaningful way. This skill fosters independent thought, encourages problem-solving, and enhances decision-making, all of which are essential in an increasingly complex and information-rich world. Integrating critical thinking into educational curriculum allows students to become active learners, rather than passive recipients of knowledge. This paper examines the role of critical thinking in the development of cognitive skills, the promotion of intellectual autonomy, and the preparation of students for real-world challenges.
