The National Life Skills Education Programme is designed to assist in building positive and noble character (virtue) as well as confidence, enthusiasm and discipline (morale) in our citizens for the betterment of our country. By developing awareness and understanding they will be better prepared to move forward in life for the holistic development of themselves and others. This will be most effective when a sense of responsibility as part of the whole is developed, together with a vision of building a civilized society that is harmonious, just, productive and respected. This National Life Skills Education Programme is relevant to all persons of Trinidad and Tobago of 16+ years - from all walks of life and from all socio-economic backgrounds. This revised curriculum document is an outcome of National Consultations (North/East, South/Central, and Tobago), and the work of a Cabinet appointed committee over a six (6) month period in 2012.
