Shalom believes that senior secondary education that entails classes IX to XII is essential for creating a pool of talent with the development of cognitive skills for their future professional growth. Thus senior secondary schooling is a minimum entitlement for equipping youth with the knowledge and skills they need to secure decent livelihoods in today's globalized world. It also reduces education and job inequalities and is a bridge that guides the young people from the world of school to the world of work.
