Life Skills Education for Class VII

As you are aware, the CBSE Board had already introduced the subject of Life skill education as a part of the curriculum in class VI last year. The CBSE Board had also brought out the textual material for the students both in English and Hindi. There has been an overwhelming response to this course from various stakeholders keeping in view that the inputs of life skill education are quite relevant, meaningful and contextual to the learners. It was also felt that it facilitated the learners to fight the consumerist tendencies and to face life with a sense of confidence, conviction and skill. As a follow up of the initiatives already taken, the CBSE Board has now brought out necessary textual materials for class VII both in English and Hindi version. You are requested to kindly bring it to the notice of all concerned in the school. The pedagogy to be adopted for teaching life skill education has to be interactive, experimental and facilitative. The spirit of the above subject should be extended beyond the classrooms walls and scope should be provided for the same in the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The subject has to be evaluated in context and as a part of the continuous and comprehensive evaluation. The CBSE Board feels the introduction of the above subject with your cooperation would facilitate in imbibing right attitudes for the holistic growth of the learners.
