Life Skills For Achieving Sustainable Education

Abstract

The development of a nation's educational system is the essential cornerstone upon which to construct the entire expansion of the nation. Education is the means via which a nation's populace can become global citizens. It is a well-known fact that education plays an important part in ensuring sustainability in a variety of domains, including the social, emotional, and economic spheres. The concept of quality is a subjective characteristic that cannot be directly quantified in any way. There are a number of national organizations that are tasked with determining the rankings of educational institutions and measuring the overall standard of the country's educational system. The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog has made an effort to provide a ranking to the states and union territories based on their performance in relation to a set of goals that are concerned with the standard of education. The need of a decent education was stressed in SDG 4. The National Curriculum Framework (2005) places a strong emphasis on the constructivist method of instruction, which helps learners improve their capacities for creative thinking and problem-solving. Life skills, also known as thinking skills, cognitive skills, and social skills, are the kinds of abilities that, when acquired by pupils, lead to the development of desirable qualities in them. The education of essential life skills contributes to the improvement of the educational system's long-term viability. The researcher has put a spotlight in this work on the various challenges that need to be addressed in order to sustain quality education with the appropriate implementation of life skills in the academic institutions of our country, both in the primary and secondary levels of education.
