Sir schools should have a vision and mission.. If these two are not set.. Other actions will be decided on schools mission only.. Passionate and dedicated teacher's are needed.. Teacher's should have clear idea of strategies for promoting critical thinking among students..

Each and every educational institution (Pre-K to Professional) should have a vision/mission statement/s which is a mandatory requirement for these educational institutions' accreditation processes to begin with . . .

Student career success depends largely on the clarity of schools’ vision and mission statements. These statements guide educational objectives and define the skills necessary to thrive in the job market. Effective communication allows students to better understand their academic and professional paths, thus facilitating their engagement and motivation. In addition, it promotes alignment between parents' expectations and the skills developed at school. In short, the transparency of educational institutions is essential to maximize students' chances of success.

All Schools and Universities should promote critical thinking, however, it depends on every teacher create the oportunity to engage the content of subjects with real situations, that will encourage students to go beyond a basic and common learning, in other words, teachers might find the way to exploit and implement strategies tha help students to be exposed to critical thinking.

Learning students critical thinking and how to be independent individuals by abandoning group thinking and developing the courage to think for themselves varies from one educational stage to another. While it is possible to plan for students to learn this approach in the advanced stages of basic education, this approach should start from the first day of secondary school. According to (Breslin, 2023), there are three problems that stand in the way of students learning critical thinking, namely; imposing a large amount of study material; the problem of class size, and societal customs and traditions. In addition, teaching students critical thinking requires certain strategies such as active learning strategies. In order to address such problems and achieve the goal of teaching critical thinking, and to reach desired results in this regard, the school should develop a strategic plan and make teaching students critical thinking a primary goal within the plan's goals and strategic objectives. Therefore, it must appear in the school's vision and mission, as they are the strategic and explanatory goal of the school's strategic plan, and such goals cannot be left to individual efforts.

Vision & Mission of schools are compulsory to promote not only CT skills, but any competencies that help to survive in 21st century. "Critical thinking" indicates critiques of thoughts, incidents, situation, objectives, phenomenon, and identification the contradictions between concepts which school can promote through different school subjects and co-curricular activities and that should be planned in a curriculum.

Critical thinking can be promoted in schools without explicitly focusing on the institution’s vision and mission statements, but integrating these elements can significantly enhance the process. Vision and mission statements provide a guiding framework that reflects the school’s values, goals, and aspirations, which, when communicated effectively, help shape a culture that prioritizes skills like critical thinking. Without these guiding principles, teachers may still foster critical thinking through curriculum design, teaching methods, and classroom activities. For instance, educators can encourage critical questioning, problem-solving, and analysis regardless of whether the school’s mission explicitly emphasizes these skills.

However, when a school’s mission and vision are aligned with promoting critical thinking, it strengthens the overall approach. A clear mission that values intellectual curiosity, independent thought, and analytical skills helps create a shared understanding among staff, students, and parents. This can result in a more cohesive learning environment, where critical thinking is not only taught but integrated into the school’s ethos and everyday practices.

In contrast, when there is a disconnect between the school’s formal vision or mission and the actual learning experience, efforts to promote critical thinking may lack consistency and direction. In this case, students might benefit from individual teachers who emphasize critical thinking, but without a unified school-wide strategy, these efforts might not be as impactful.
