Measuring Life Skills and Citizenship Education (LSCE)
The Life Skills and Citizenship Education (LSCE) initiative is a transformative, UNICEF-led programme aimed at enhancing educational outcomes, employment prospects and the civic engagement of young people in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, by fostering the development of 12 twenty-first-century life skills.
Recognizing the roles of measurement and assessment as key features of transforming the education system, UNICEF (in collaboration with the University of Roehampton, the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement [IEA] and the National Foundation for Educational Research [NFER]) developed 12 assessment instruments to measure the 12 life skills from the LSCE framework.
