Life skills-based education (LSBE) is a form of education that focuses on developing the personal and social skills that young people need to succeed in life. These skills include problem solving, critical thinking, communication, decision-making, interpersonal relationships, self-awareness, empathy, and coping with stress.

LSBE is important because it helps young people develop the skills they need to make informed decisions about their lives, to cope with challenges, and to build healthy relationships. It can also help them to avoid risky behaviors, such as early sexual activity, substance abuse, and violence.

There are many different ways to implement LSBE in schools and other settings. Some common approaches include:

• Curricular approaches: These approaches integrate LSBE into the regular curriculum, such as by adding units on decision-making or problem solving to math or science classes.
• Co-curricular approaches: These approaches offer LSBE programs outside of the regular curriculum, such as through after-school clubs or community-based organizations.
• Life skills training: This approach provides young people with specific training in life skills, such as how to communicate effectively or how to manage stress.
