Why Social and Emotional Skills are required in Education System?

To keep pace with such drastic changes, while continuing to contribute responsibly in society, the role of social and emotional skills is imperative. Psychologists and neuroscientists have discerned that through social-emotional learning, negative emotions can be directed towards peace and constructive action. Specifically, building competencies of attention regulation through programs on mindfulness and emotional regulation – which build positive peer relationships, and compassion – has been shown to regulate and reduce stress, anxiety, and aggression, and promote peaceful and prosocial behaviour.

Another reason to promote Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is the correlation between its application in schools and students’ academic success. Research has shown the importance of caring teacher-student and student-student relationships in fostering students’ commitment to school and in promoting academic success. When a child can understand oneself and others, take in social information accurately to make good decisions, interact successfully, and regulate behaviour, many classroom learning tasks are made easier. The child with SEL strengths, social interactions in the school and outside are replete with information about the self and how to succeed, to become competent; it is within these social environments that children learn holistic values, standards, and motivation.

On the occasion of the International Social Emotional Learning Day on 11th March 2022, Tech Mahindra Foundation hosted Saajhi Samajh on Integrating Social-Emotional Learning in Education. The seventh edition of Saajhi Samajh focused on the importance of Social-Emotional Learning.

In the past, the Foundation has hosted several seminars with a focus on Education and Employability by bringing together an array of experts and specialists. These events, titled ‘Saajhi Samajh’ (or Shared Understanding), are the Foundation’s attempt towards creating a broader platform to enable advocacy through discourse and discussion on issues related and relevant to the development of teacher training and education in India.
