Life skills proficiency index launched for Guyanese, Caribbean students

The Life Skills Education Institute Incorporated (LSEI), in partnership with Camille’s Academy, has launched its web application life skills proficiency index, through which students can take an assessment showing the extent of their life skills proficiency, wellbeing and mental health status.

The web app generates automated results for the student, whereby they will be able to view their scores in comparison with their classmates, region, and the country. It also provides a percentile ranking of the students within his/her school, region and country.
The app also generates similar reports for the schools, whereby they will be able to view their students’ proficiency level in comparison with the other schools in the region and country.
The result from the assessment will be used to determine a student’s mental health status, and to seek early intervention and mental health support from trained and competent staff including the school’s guidance counsellor.
Life Skills Education Institute is an educational institution with the mandate to provide complimentary and beneficial assessments to every Guyanese and Caribbean student.
LSEI was established by CEO and an academician, Dr Arulsamy Anand and Chairman of Action Invest, Dr Vishnu Doerga.
Deputy Permanent Secretary (Administration) of the Education Ministry, Indrani Ramnarine; Clinical Psychologist at the Mental Health Unit, Dr Mark Constantine, and Health Advisor, Dr Bheri Ramsarran were present for the launch.
The implementation of life skills assessment, wellbeing and mental health is one of its kind in Guyana and Camille’s Academy is the first institution to implement it for its students. Further to the assessment, LSEI will provide training to students on various life skills assessed.
The assessment can be accessed through https://lspindex.com.
