Our education system has come to realise the importance of these skills which focus on providing children and adolescents with the opportunity to develop values and skills to enable healthy development, to cope with their problems, and to resist harmful influences. This includes skills for building self-esteem, setting realistic goals, coping with anxiety, resisting pressures, communicating effectively, making decisions, managing conflict and acquiring appropriate social skills.
