    Abstract

    Paradoxically, there is increasing pressure on schools to deliver greater outcomes at the same time that there is a desire for innovative, skilled, 21st-century graduates to meet future societal needs. In response to this, some schools have sought to engage learners in key learning areas through play-based pedagogy in support of nurturing creative minds. But policy has not caught up with practice. In this policy brief, the rationale, purpose, and scope of play pedagogy for schools will be outlined within the context of a play policy framework to support schools with the task of building new thinking and learning for the future.
