Education Ministry to launch a mental health programme for school children
The Ministry of Education will launch a mental health programme for school children, focusing on transforming schools into environments where students can handle life's challenges. The programme aims to help children develop mental resilience to face age-related challenges, as many struggle with emotions like conflict, anger, and sadness, with some contemplating self-harm. The programme will be implemented across all government schools and grades. The ministry plans to hire a consultancy firm, in collaboration with UNICEF, to produce educational materials. Interested organizations can submit proposals by 1 October 2024.
