A Symposium on Beyond the Classroom: Equipping Students with Life Skills for the Real World

This symposium is aimed at teachers, headteachers, department heads and other stakeholders in education. The focus of this event is to examine the significance of teaching students essential life skills in today’s fast-paced and competitive world. Additionally, we will examine the key skills that should be prioritised when identifying the competencies to be imparted to our students, enabling them to become future-ready and successfully navigate the challenges and complexities of daily life in the 21^st century.

The symposium aims to address questions such as:

Should all teachers, regardless of the subjects they teach or the age of their students, incorporate teaching life skills into their pedagogy?
Why are teaching life skills to students important in the 21^st century?
Are life skills as important as subject knowledge? Why (not)?
What are the top five life skills teachers should teach their students?
What challenges do teachers face when trying to teach their students life skills?
How can educators teach life skills effectively?
