life skills has created a controversy among educators a program to in troduce the courses on a trial basis would start in september in 29 schools and would require students to spend more time on mathematics science history or geography the purpose is to raise the status of life skills to the level of credit courses the program in volves 12 areas of study including esthetics to develop students confidence in respond ing with sensitivity to nature and the arts human relations to enhance understanding of people through such activities as learning to distinguish between emotional and reasoned responses and developing skills to make sure their per- ceptions are- rtsht- theres a wallpaper hanging course too according to ministry program coordinator dorothy mcphedran the students will be taught skills for directing their lives in ac cordance with personal values and goals in the context of the common good that- statement would seem to un derscore the ministrys penchant for in

waived english as a prerequisite for university entrance at a time when doctors nurses technicians engineers artisans and a whole range of skilled workers are in short supply the ministrys nebulous thinking is concentrated at the wrong end of the educational ladder the province and indeed the whole country would benefit more if these faceless administrators were to apply themselves to the introduction of more polytechnics- there is only one in ontario at present whereby industry of this country would be better served instead of relying on imported skilled labor as one critic of the
