WHY TEACH LIFE SKILLS?
People require a combination of cognitive and life skills to meet life challenges. The formal education system generally prepares students to acquire knowledge and impart cognitive skills. There is no deliberate agenda to inculcate attitudes, values, and skills that would help them meet the challenges of everyday living.
Recent surveys have also consistently revealed that over 80% of employers report that graduates lack key employability skills. Key Employability skills include such skills as: Communication, Teamwork, Prioritisation, Assertiveness, Time management, Critical thinking, influencing skills to mention but a few.
