Keeping a check on students’ mental health
The Hindu
Experts say students should be allowed to settle down first and there should not be extra pressure on them
As students of Classes IX–XII will be coming back to schools on September 1 after a long gap, schools in the city have been taking steps to protect their mental health, apart from framing a regime adhering to COVID-19 protocols. Most schools are planning to prioritise non-academical sessions and self-reflection activities for the first few weeks. Director of Queen Mira International School Abinath Chandran said, “Students’ emotional quotient is always important. We will give them confidence by telling them we are in this together. We will make sure they have fun inside classrooms through self-reflection and discussion activities. Our in-house counsellors will help students and parents in need of help.”More Related News
