Life Skills are the everyday abilities that help students succeed at school, at home, and in society. Through inquiry learning, students practice solving real-life problems, making decisions, and communicating effectively. Instead of only hearing instructions, they explore situations, ask questions, and reflect on how choices shape outcomes. Activities such as role-play, projects, and teamwork build confidence, independence, and responsibility. By connecting lessons to daily routines and challenges, learners understand how to manage themselves and work with others. In this way, Life Skills become more than practice—they become tools for building a successful future.
