The lack of life skills in students is becoming a growing concern among educators, parents, and employers. While academic content is essential, many young people are graduating without the practical, emotional, and interpersonal tools they need to navigate real-world challenges.
Students often graduate without essential skills like financial literacy, communication, or emotional intelligence.The disconnect between curriculum and real-world relevance leads to disengagement.
Life skills refer to the abilities needed to effectively manage daily tasks, relationships, and responsibilities. They includes
Communication & collaboration
Problem-solving & critical thinking
Time management & organization
Financial literacy
Emotional regulation & resilience
Self-awareness & decision-making
Civic responsibility & digital citizenship.
