6D.Varsity today announced the launch of the 5.OIL Model (Society 5.0 – Innovation & Leadership), a compact yet powerful education framework designed to nurture higher-order, future-ready talent among Gen-Alpha learners (under 16 years). The model marks a significant evolution of SOIL (School of Innovation & Leadership) for Gen Z, now reimagined as a micro-varsity aligned with the principles of Society 5.0.

Rooted in human-centric innovation, the 5.OIL Model reflects a fundamental shift in how education is conceptualised and delivered. It moves learning

• from content to context,

• from instruction to inquiry,

• from marks to meaning, and

• from classroom learning to real-world problem solving.

At the heart of 5.OIL is a deliberate focus on Alpha Thinkers, placing intelligence over information and deep learning over rote memorisation. The model is designed to help young learners live and learn by design and purpose, equipping them to navigate complex societal challenges while contributing meaningfully to the future of work and the future of the world.

The launch also underscores 6D.Varsity’s commitment to building education systems that integrate innovation, leadership, and societal impact, in collaboration with academic institutions, industry, research bodies, and ecosystem partners.

Admissions for the inaugural intake of the 5.OIL micro-varsity will open on 23 January 2026.

The initiative is led by Srikanth Talluri and Usha S. Talluri, Co-Founders of 6D.Varsity, who continue to champion education models aligned with Society 5.0 and future-ready talent development.
