Values and Life Skills ​ thematic group​

Kenya

In everyday life, the development of life skills helps students to find new ways of thinking, solving problems, building their confidence both in spoken skills and for group collaboration and cooperation, and teaches them to take responsibility for what they do.  This group works to generate and share evidence and strengthening practices that support the acquisition of values and life skills in East Africa. This involves coming up with ways of understanding, nurturing, and assessing life skills acquisition and how they are being applied in the lives of the child and supporting the integration of values and life skills in the education system and curriculum.
