“The framework for Personal  Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) comprises six groups of skills that, together with the functional skills of English, mathematics and ICT, are essential to success in learning, life and work. In essence, the framework captures the essential skills of: managing self; managing relationships with others; and managing own learning, performance and work.  It is these skills that will enable young people to enter work and adult life as confident and capable individuals.”  QCA
