To what extent are life skills and values embedded in the primary and secondary education systems of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania Mainland, and Zanzibar, as evidenced by both explicit and implicit mentions of life skills and values in the curriculum, assessment, and teacher training documents/materials of the systems? Through the ALiVE Initiative, four jurisdictions in East Africa, including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania Mainland, and Zanzibar, are identifying ways to improve and enhance their education systems by integrating life skills and values. ALiVE’s vision is to ensure that life skills and values are seamlessly embedded in the primary and secondary education systems, including their curriculum, assessment, and teacher training. As a starting point, these four jurisdictions gathered the most current baseline information to determine the extent to which life skills and values are embedded in their education systems, providing evidence of how they progress over time. The outcomes from the study provide an understanding of the current status and how this information can be used in the future to track progress as to the extent to which life skills and values are integrated into their education systems.
