Education and learning is a lifelong process; not limited to academic learning but also acquiring the necessary life skills for surviving in the environment we put ourselves in.
Today's world is a fast paced and challenging. Academic skills are not enough to enable an individual to live a life of which he or she is self sufficient and yet be able to handle the emotions and traumas of human interaction. Between the ages 16 years and 29 years, older even, many will have faced issues relating to work, career, marriage, family, finance, social life and much more.
"Life skills development for youths help them enhance their lifestyle and individual performance."
What are Life Skills?
UNICEF, in its commitment to Education For All, has adopted Life Skills Based Education around the world as a means to empower young people in challenging situations. They define Life Skills Based Education as using participatory methods that allow all participants (including the facilitator) equal opportunities to listen to, and learn from, each other and can appeal to different learning styles.
"Where implemented with high quality, life skills-based education can result in quality learners achieving quality educational outcome."
