The Uasin Gishu Youth Initiative with Zizi Afrique Foundation, a local non-governmental organisation organised a successful dissemination of a report on the Assessment of Life Skills and Values (ALiVE) among teenagers in Eldoret. The initiative seeks to enhance Kenyan education systems among school-going children within the age of 13 to 17 years by equipping them with the skills and values for learning, living and for working.
Speaking during the report launch, ZiZi Afrique highlighted the core skills as: problem-solving, collaboration, self-awareness, and respect, with literacy and digital literacy as additional areas. With the hopes that the national curriculum will come to emphasize the integration of life skills and values from early childhood development to institutions of higher learning.
“We need to incorporate life skills and values in the curriculum from pre-primary to university level to churn out a graduate ready for the job market.”
