<p style="text-align: justify;">Our paper presents a summary of widely researched base for the systematic teaching of thinking and problem solving skills across modern curriculum. We maintains that by extending the skills of all learners to think and to solve problems , the »slow« learners are given the necessary framework and support they need to progress; while the »faster« learners develop and consolidate their skills for independent and extended learning. We argues that a curriculum which systematically and coherently develops pupils capacities to think raises the levels of achievement of all learners.<br>
