Program Intro
Calling school students of grades 6 - 9 to be a part of HCL Jigsaw, India's Premier Critical Reasoning Platform!
The world around us is evolving at an accelerated pace and our children need to be equipped with the right skills and tools today, for them to be successful tomorrow. Several researches have consistently outlined that skills like problem solving, critical thinking and reasoning, creativity and collaboration must be nurtured in children to help them tackle problems head-on with innovative solutions as they grow and enter the workspaces. While the current education system in India is now evolving to include these skills as part of the learning process, it is not yet formalized.
HCL Jigsaw is a new pioneering program with an objective of building a culture of problem solving in the country, starting at the school level. This is India’s Premier Critical Reasoning Platform for students from Grades 6 to 9.

- Oakridge believes that ...
"Oakridge believes that we need to nurture individuals to be future-ready, responsible citizens, who impact the world positively by imbibing the 4C's - Critical thinking, Collaboration, Communication and Creativity."

- Problem-solving skills...
"Problem-solving skills will play an important part in preparing learners and leaders for their future rather than the past. Many schools say it seems harder than ever to provide what young people need because what they need is less certain. However, when we talk about the need for the 4Cs, problem solving is an essential common ingredient that we cannot ignore."
Mr. Matthew Ivulich
Shiv Nadar School
- According to me,...
“According to me, problem solving skills are empowering every individual and bringing out their potentials in order. It also makes them feel confident and independent to tackle problems and solving challenges on their own. I feel HCL Jigsaw is giving scope to the students to think critically in order to analyze the problems as well to find a probable solution for that. It is helping them to enhance their learning. ”

- Change is the ...
"Change is the recurring phenomenon of today's times and change always results in uncertainty. In this scenario, everyone has to build their problem solving skills to face the challenges of the modern world to resolve the issues that change and uncertainty present. The focus on imparting problem solving skills in children is therefore of paramount importance for them to be ready to face the challenges that await them as they step into the real world."
