Abstract: This research paper investigates the impact of project-based learning (PBL) on student engagement, skill development, and academic success. Emphasizing the multifaceted advantages of PBL, we explore its role in fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world application of knowledge. Through a comprehensive review of literature, empirical evidence, and case studies, the study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how PBL enhances academic performance and cultivates essential life skills. By examining various models, best practices, and challenges associated with PBL implementation, the paper contributes valuable insights to educators, policymakers, and researchers. Advocating for the integration of project-based learning into modern education, this research supports its role as an indispensable component.

Key words: project-based learning, academic performance, student engagement
