This open access volume critically reviews a diverse body of
scholarship and practice that informs the conceptualization,
curriculum, teaching and measurement of life skills in education
settings around the world. It discusses life skills as they are
implemented in schools and non-formal education, providing both
qualitative and quantitative evidence of when, with whom, and how
life skills do or do not impact young women's and men's lives in
various contexts. Specifically, it examines the nature and
importance of life skills, and how they are taught. It looks at the
synergies and differences between life skills educational
programmes and the way in which they promote social and emotional
learning, vocational/employment education, and health and sexuality
education. Finally, it explores how life skills may be better
incorporated into education and how such education can address
structures and relations of power to help youth achieve desired
future outcomes, and goals set out in the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). Life skills education has gained considerable
attention by education policymakers, researchers and educators as
being the sine qua non for later achievements in life. It is nearly
ubiquitous in global and national education policies, including the
SDGs, because life skills are regarded as essential for a diverse
set of purposes: reducing poverty, achieving gender equality,
promoting economic growth, addressing climate change, fostering
peace and global citizenship, and creating sustainable and healthy
communities. Yet, to achieve these broad goals, questions persist
as to which life skills are important, who needs to learn them, how
they can be taught, and how they are best measured. This book
addresses these questions.
