27 Skills Your Child Needs to Know That She's Not Getting in School

2007-06-23T20:33:00.001-07:00

I think many of our kind think school prepares children for life; school only prepares children to work.

clipped from zenhabits.net

But there’s much more to life than those basic subjects, and unless you have an exceptional teacher who is willing to break out of the mold, your child isn’t learning the crucial things he or she needs to learn in life.

On the eve of the inauguration ceremony of the New Diamond Jubilee High School, head of the social welfare department at the Aga Khan’s secretariat in France, Princess Zahra Aga Khan stressed on the need to imbibe the students with value- based education.

The princess further stated that concepts like research classrooms and teacher training programmes will be the major components of the Aga Khan Education Services (AKES) at the newly constructed, New Diamond Jubilee High School in Mumbai.
“Students today have an immense accessibility to the wide range of information through the latest technological developments.

But in order to prepare the students to face the challenges ahead of them, educational institutions should impart knowledge in the field of history and culture. Subsequently,
imbibing moral and ethical values in them also becomes the essential component of today’s education process,” explains Zahra Aga Khan, grand-daughter of Sultan Mohammed Shah who had himself inaugurated the premises of the Diamond Jubilee High School in 1957.

2007-06-06T23:34:00.000-07:00

Life Skills are the skills necessary for successful living. They can be thought of as falling into six main areas: self, family, job, community, leisure, and spirituality. Essential life skills include such things as being able to recognize and describe one's feelings, giving and receiving feedback, recognizing assumptions, setting realistic and attainable goals, and employing problem-solving strategies. A number of schools and colleges offer courses to train Life Skills coaches, whose services are employed by youth centres, correctional institutes, social service and self-help agencies, and other settings where people struggling with dysfunctional behaviors can often be found.

One of the many organizations working in the area of developing Life Skills in India is Pravah. Pravah was started in 1993 in New Delhi, India by a group of friends to raise awareness about social issues among youth and to promote Active citizenship.
