| contents | <p>This article makes the case for <em>life management</em> as a vital but overlooked dimension of modern education. While global education systems offer subject-specific training, such as business, health, or conflict management, few emphasize the holistic ability to manage one’s life across changing stages and challenges. The paper argues that life management should stand as a central pillar of educational policy, cultivating total personhood and supporting human development from childhood to legacy years.</p> <p>Drawing on developmental theories (Maslow, Erikson), the capability approach (Sen), and UNESCO’s lifelong learning frameworks, the paper develops a strategic model for embedding life management into curricula at all levels. Through comparative case studies from the UK, Nigeria, South Korea, Finland, and the United States, it highlights how holistic education enhances civic responsibility, reduces crime, fosters resilience, and strengthens sustainable societies.</p> <p>Ultimately, the article calls for policy reforms that integrate life management into education worldwide, stressing the need for generational balance, community engagement, and institutional innovation to produce responsible, adaptable, and future-ready citizens.</p> |
