All children and young people are entitled to opportunities for developing skills for learning, life and work. The skills are relevant from the early years right through to the senior phase of learning and should provide them with a sound basis for their development as lifelong learners in their adult, social and working lives.
The skills should be developed across all curriculum areas, in studies across learning and in all the contexts and settings where young people are learning. Opportunities to develop skills may be offered in different ways appropriate to learners’ needs, whether through active learning, interdisciplinary tasks or the experience of learning in practical contexts.
The skills include literacy, numeracy and associated thinking skills; skills for health and wellbeing, including personal learning planning, career management skills, working with others, leadership and physical co-ordination and movement skills; and skills for enterprise and employability.
