Education corner: Academic achievement and emotional health are equally important
11 March 2018
The philosophy of BISP recognises that a core purpose of formal education is to enable our students to lead “quality lives”. In that context, it is worth reflecting on research quoted in the World Happiness Report 2015: “If you wish to predict whether a child will grow into a satisfied adult, the best predictor is not the academic achievement of the child but their emotional health”. (Helliwell, John F., Richard Layard, and Jeffrey Sachs, eds. 2015. World Happiness Report 2015. New York: Sustainable Development Solutions Network.)
