It’s the season of results, and we are sure you are browsing through newspapers that are full of acknowledgement for children that have scored nothing but above 90%. What a well-deserved glory!
As we celebrate with the elated top rankers, a question may arise, what about the ones who haven’t? Do we equally cheer the ones who are not amongst the top scorers or perhaps have scored below 50%?Academic competition is one of the primary reasons for children to succumb to depression, or worst, suicide.
How do we ensure that the children don’t lose themselves in this battle?One of the ways is by introducing life skills education in school curriculums. Let’s know how life skills education changes the way we look at education?
It’s time to have mentally healthy children at school
The new-age schooling demands children to raise their efficiency in every subject. And naturally, this comes with its share of high-level stress. But wouldn’t it be interesting if the schools also train children to cope with the stress in a positive manner? Teaching life skills at school can be an excellent way to ensure that the education system maintains a fine balance between maintaining studies and coping skills for the children.
