What is a Portrait of a Learner?

A "Portrait of a Learner" or "Portrait of a Graduate" is a shared vision of the key skills, qualities, and habits students should develop by the time they finish school. It acts as a guide for schools, helping them focus on preparing students not just academically, but also in areas like problem-solving, teamwork, and effective communication. This portrait typically includes abilities like critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability, along with traits such as perseverance and awareness of others, reflecting the community's hopes for well-rounded, capable young people.
