The goal of this survey is to collect empirical evidence and insight on students’ social and emotional skills and their relevance to various life outcomes.
According to an official circular, the Delhi government is conducting a survey on social and emotional skills among adolescent students in 75 government schools in the city.
The circular issued on Wednesday said the survey began on Thursday and will end on May 6.
The survey is being conducted among students between 15 years and three months and 16 years and two months (as on April 12). This is being done by the NGO Dream a Dream through data collection by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The circular states that the schools concerned have been directed to nominate a teacher to act as coordinator and collaborate with the NGO.
“No foreign funding should be involved in the project without prior approval of DOE and following the guidelines issued by the Government of India. The privacy of the students or parents should not be affected in the process of the project.
Officials said the survey is one of the first international efforts to develop a comprehensive set of metrics around social and emotional skills designed to enhance policies to improve youth development and well-being.
This assessment aims to collect empirical evidence on students’ social and emotional skills and their relevance to various life outcomes, as well as provide robust and reliable insights, he said.
“The survey will target students (15 years), teachers, principals and parents. As per the international timeline of studies, we have to conduct the main study in April-May 2023. Field trials were conducted last year in May 2022.
