The aim of the present education system is not limited to cognitive aspects, but rather to the socio-psychological development of the learner. The concept of life skills and self-concept is related to the cognitive, affective, and psycho-motor development of the child. The aim of this investigation is to study the differences in life skill awareness and self-concept of adolescent women according to their social category. A causal comparative research design was adopted, administering a self-concept and life skill awareness questionnaire to 120 adolescent women. Data analysis methods included descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA. Results indicate that life skill awareness and self-concept of adolescent women differ significantly across their social category (p < .05). Considering the empirical results, it is suggested that women from SC and ST classes need to be provided with parental and social support to enhance their life skills and ensure positive self-judgment. The result of the research is significant to teachers and students, showing that positive self-judgment and life skills contribute to their educational success. The study concludes that adolescents with a positive self-concept are able to judge how well their beliefs align with their actions or behaviors. Education that prioritizes life skills will enhance young adolescents' opportunities and chances in life if it is redesigned in line with the needs and demands of the 21st century.
