Functional life skills are skills that we acquire in order to live a better, more fulfilling life. They enable us to exist happily in our families, and in the societies in which we are born.
The key element at Ramagya for this is the curricula in transition, preparing students to eventually become responsible young adults. At Ramagya, the development of life skills helps students
- To find new ways of thinking and problem solving and recognizing the impact of their actions.
- They are also taught to take responsibility for what they do.
