Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Life Skills Programme, which is one of the newest programmes in the Kenya Preschool educational system wasexplored to establish the impact it had on the lives of preschool children in Embu West, Kenya. A primary school thatis perceived as having well-disciplined children was purposively selected. The sample consisted of 39 students, 43preschool teachers and 31 parents. The data collection methods included use of a questionnaire, interviews,observations and a documentary analysis. A content analysis was used to examine the data collected. A main findingwas that, teachers and parents seemed to cherish the Life Skills Programme as a subject that enabled children to acquirerelevant skills for their growth, development and survival. Another finding was an indication of a link between childrenwho had mastered the life skills and academic performance. The study recommended the need to develop clear policyand supervisory guidelines to allow the effective implementation of the Life Skills Programme to benefit all children.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
