In schools in the States and UTs of India, the school administration, principal, teachers, other staff, and students spend roughly one-third of a day and about 220 days every year.
Digital Desk: The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has issued guidelines for schools to screen students for mental health issues.
To ensure the mental health of kids and include parents, NCERT suggested schools establish a mental health advisory council, a school mental health programme, and educational support.
Exams, grades, and peer pressure are listed in the research report as major sources of stress and anxiety for students. According to the guidelines, each school or group of schools is required to form a mental health advisory council.
In general, schools are seen as places where student communities are anticipated to flourish in a secure setting.
In schools in the States and UTs of India, the school administration, principal, teachers, other staff, and students spend roughly one-third of a day and about 220 days every year.
For boarding institutions, a student stays in the school community for much longer. Therefore, it is the duty of the school to guarantee the well-being, health, and safety of all children in schools and shelters, according to the requirements.
In addition to families and parents, teachers should be on the lookout for early indicators as they are also the primary caretakers, according to the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT).
The NCERT adds that the bulk of mental health issues starts to show up in adolescence, with 50% of issues showing up by age 14 and 75% by age 25.
