Abstract

According to Martin Luther King, Jr. the function of education is to teach one to think intensively and critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education. Education transforms lives and is at the heart of UNESCO’s mission to build peace, eradicate poverty and drive sustainable development. UNESCO launched the Futures of Education initiative to reimagine how knowledge and learning can shape the futures of humanity in a context of increasing complexity, uncertainty and precarity. WHO further mentioned that facilitating the learning of life skills is a central component of programmes designed to promote healthy behaviour and mental well-being. Life skills education needs to be evolved in school as part of a whole school initiative designed to sustain a positive and healthy psychosocial development in school children.
