⚙️ How it works
Real situations, best-answer checks and honest “that’s me” questions — 32 of them in Class 3, rising to 72 by Class 12. Every question lands in one of four skill areas:
How it works
Each area holds four skills — 16 in all, each scored 0 to 100. The strongest area becomes your child's strongest area, named in plain words.
What the report gives you
21st Century Life Skills Assessment — skills profile · sample
Stylised preview · scales run amber → green, never red · no ranks, no labels
Certificate included · every one carries a verification code
Every parameter we measure
Four skill areas, four skills each — the same 16-skill map for every class from 3 to 12. Only the questions change with age.
How the thinking happens
How they work with people
How they handle themselves
How smartly they live online
🎯 Why this class
No report card scores Decision Making, Resilience & Coping or Media Literacy — this one scores all 16 skills, separately.
Which is exactly why they need measuring: nobody can practise a skill that has never been named.
The same 16 skills in four areas every year, asked in age-appropriate words — so growth is measured against your own last score.
You walk away with: the strongest of the four skill areas named, all 16 skills scored on the wheel, one strength and one focus area, six growth activities sized for the class, a page for parents and one for the teacher — and a certificate with a verification code.
🗓️ When & why
Does this sound familiar?
👨👩👧A parent
Marks are fine — but the project gets abandoned the moment the glue doesn't stick.The report names which of the 16 skills is carrying your child and which one needs a nudge — with home activities, not lectures.
🧑🏫A counsellor / teacher
The NEP asks me to report on 21st-century skills — with what evidence?A scored profile per student across Cognitive, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal and Digital skills, plus class-wide patterns to plan a session and brief parents.
🎒The student
You know you're good at something — you just can't name it yet.Sixteen skills, each on its own scale. One named strength, one focus area, and a growth plan written for your class.
The right moments
A baseline in the first term beats a scramble in March — the growth plan needs months, not weeks.
Giving up quickly, dodging group work, believing everything online — these show up here, not on a marksheet.
Middle school, Class 9, the board years — see which skills are ready before the jump.
Why now, not later: Skills like grit and media literacy compound. Named this year, they get a whole year of practice; found next year, that year is gone.
Once a year is enough. Growth is measured against your own last score — never against anyone else.
Start the 21st Century Life Skills Assessment ➜🌱 The wheel
Every question in the assessment maps to one segment of this wheel. Four groups, sixteen real-life skills — the report scores each one separately, so you see the pattern, not one number.
Skills grow at different speeds at different ages — that's why the same wheel is asked differently for a Class 3 child and a Class 12 student.

📄 The report
Numbers where numbers help, plain words everywhere else. Every Life Skills report speaks to three readers — the student, the parent and the teacher — and ends with what to do next.
Page one names the strongest of the four skill areas in plain words, with the overall level beside it — Emerging through to Advanced.
All 16 skills in four colour areas on one wheel, built on the WHO life-skills and World Economic Forum 21st-century frameworks.
Each skill scored 0–100 with one honest band — Strength (70+), Developing (40–69), Focus Area (below 40). Scales run amber to green, never red.
Six real-life activities, weighted toward the skills with the most room to grow and sized for the student’s own class. Start with any two.
The focus area written twice — once for the person at home, once in a teacher’s language. No labels, no ranks.
Student, parent and counsellor certificates, a share card for WhatsApp, and a serial any school can check.
