Gurukul’s Approach to Teaching Life Skills to Students

In the constantly changing modern environment that we live in today, being instilled with the crucial life skills forms an important part of being able to meet the challenges of daily life. The dramatic changes noted in the global economies over the past couple of years have been matched with simultaneous transformation in technologies, and the amalgamated effects of these factors are evident in every aspect of our education, home, and work environs. Hence, to cope with this increasing pace of change in the present times, it is imperative thatchildren imbibe new life skills that will help them move forward in life by effectively dealing with all the bumps and hurdles on the way.

We, at Gurukul The School, believe that the students of today are the professionals of tomorrow, and with the new job environments comes the need to handle pressure and ensure flexibility. To that end,the training that we, at Gurukul, impart to our students under our life skills programme is crucial in the fact that it prepares them for what lies ahead in their lives. To delve further into the ideas of teaching that we believe in, here is a brief overview of the chief elements that come under our life skills programme.

Self-Awareness and Empathy


One of the prime lessons that we aim to inculcate among our pupils is the sense of self-awareness. This is because, without a better understanding of ourselves, we will never be able to establish ourselves as unique individuals. We believe that the feeling of empathy is closely interrelated with the ideas of self-awareness because it empowers us to understand and be compassionate towards the opinions and perspectives of others. The children turn out to be as considerate and thoughtful towards the shortcomings of others as they are about their own selves.
