The modern education system faces increasing pressure to not only impart academic knowledge but also to cultivate well-rounded individuals equipped to navigate the complexities of life. This necessitates a shift from a purely cognitive focus to one that integrates the social and emotional development of students. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) has emerged as a powerful methodology addressing this need, demonstrating a significant impact on improving the effectiveness of school education. This article explores the multifaceted role of SEL in enhancing academic achievement, promoting positive mental health, and fostering a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.
