Modern education is shifting to pay more attention to the needs of students. This essay talks about student-centered learning, which means that students take part in their own learning rather than just sitting back and listening to the teacher. It explains how this method helps students grow in all areas, not just in school, but also in their personal and social lives. People talk about ways to learn, such as doing group work, asking questions, and going at your own pace. The paper also talks about the problems, such as how to give fair tests to students and teach teachers how to use this new method. It shows that student-centered learning makes kids more sure of themselves, able to work on their own, and ready for the future. 

Beyond the classroom, student-centered learning has several advantages. Students are more likely to feel pride in their work and a sense of ownership when they are actively involved in their education. Stronger interpersonal skills, more self-esteem, and an increased ability to handle difficulties in the classroom and in the real world can result from this. Although there are many benefits to student-centered learning, there are drawbacks as well. How to fairly evaluate students' progress is a big worry, particularly when they are learning at various rates or doing different kinds of assignments. The requirement for teachers to have enough training in order to successfully apply student-centered practices in their classrooms is another problem.
Notwithstanding these obstacles, the increasing demand for student-centered learning is indicative of a larger movement in education toward.
