Education should be about more than just information giving, storing and regurgitating, if it to prepare us for a fast moving , ever changing world and lives which will see futures we can currently hardly predict. It is probably fair to say that there are few challenges and crises in the human situation which are to do with a lack of information, we are creating it at an incredible, exponential rate. Human happiness however, will be much more to do with our ability to build relationship, to cooperate with others to work effectively, to solve problems, to think and act independently and responsibly, to predict and plan to take decisions and manage consequences to continue learning, especially from experience, to accept and welcome diversity, to manage change, to mature through life stages, to maintain our health and well being and support others to do the same. The focus of this paper is to create the awareness of positive life skills and to find out the opinions about implementation of positive life skills education, positive life skills curriculum, issues & challenges for B. Ed. students.
