Life skills can be put into the categories that the Jacques Delors report suggested; it spoke of four pillars of education, which correspond to certain kinds of life skills: Earning to know: Thinking abilities: such as problem-solving, critical thinking, decision-making, understanding consequences.
Learning to be: Personal abilities: such as managing stress and feelings, self-awareness, self-confidence.
Learning to live together Social abilities: such as communication, negotiation, teamwork
Learning to do: Manual skills: practising know-how required for work and tasks
In today's world all these skills are necessary, in order to face rapid change in society. This means that it is important to know how to go on learning as we require new skills for life and work. In addition, we need to know how to cope with the flood of information and turn it into useful knowledge. We also need to learn how to handle change in society and in our own lives.
