In the published article, there were several errors in the text.

“The survey instrument used four scales of dual response questionnaire, with reliability of 0.993.”

There was an error regarding the number of online polls that had been completed. A correction has been made to the section ‘Activity 2: Children and youth's voices through the “dare to dream campaign”', This sentence previously stated:

“After the brainstorming workshops, three online polls were conducted with 26,109 children” The corrected sentence appears below:

“After the brainstorming workshops, three online polls were conducted with 20,109 children.”

The demographics of the polls were written incorrectly. Since polls were collected for three rounds, the percentages indicated may cause some confusion as to which round is being referred to. A correction has been made to the section ‘Children and youth voices through the “dare to dream campaign”'. This sentence previously stated:

“Sixty percent of respondents were 15–19 years old, and 63% were female” The corrected sentence appears below:

“Most respondents were 15–19 years old, and were female.”

There was an error regarding the number of additional skills identified. A correction has been made to the section “Phase III: Developing a new skills framework through a consultation process,” This sentence previously stated:

Parts of the skills framework were listed incorrectly. A correction has been made to the section “Classifications and dimensions of the skills framework,” in order to match the term used in Figure 1. This sentence previously stated:

“(2) Skills in the managing self.” The corrected sentence appears below:

“(2) Skills in managing self.”

In addition, formatting changes have been made to the section “Classifications and dimensions of the skills framework.” The sentence “(3) Skills in living with others” has been moved to a new paragraph, and the list “(1) communication (2) Active citizenship (3) Teamwork (4) Social etiquette” has been indented as they are sub-categories of skills in living with others.

The strategies for developing the life skills in schools; St.Gabriel's foundation Thailand, 19–29. Available online at: http://ejournals.swu.ac.th/ (accessed May, 31).”
