Model Curriculum for Life Skills Based Education (LSBE) for Children with Intellectual Challenges

    This article presents a comprehensive model curriculum for Life Skills-Based Education (LSBE)  for children with intellectual challenges in Pakistan. The curriculum is developed through a mixed-method approach, including literature reviews, surveys, expert consultations, and focus group discussions. This proposed LSBE curriculum addresses essential life skills such as self-awareness, empathy, coping with emotions, critical thinking, decision-making/problem-solving, and communication. It underscores inclusive, student-centered approaches, making it adaptable to various educational settings. It aligns with global practices and integrates Islamic values. The curriculum aims to enhance the quality of life and foster the holistic development of children with intellectual challenges, promoting independence and inclusivity. It provides practical guidelines for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers, serving as a crucial tool for advancing educational equity and improving life outcomes for children with intellectual challenges in diverse regional contexts.
