Students are being encouraged to adopt healthy strategies for managing exam-related stress.
This call comes from the Ministry of the People, Social Development and Family Services following the recently reported death of a secondary school student.
The Ministry says it has launched the Mindful Me Journal, a resource designed to help students navigate school pressures and cope with test-related anxiety.
It also hosts online workshops for parents and guardians on the use of this platform.
It says these initiatives underscore the Government’s firm position that the mental and emotional well-being of our children must be protected, nurtured, and prioritised.
Parents are encouraged to visit the Ministry’s website or its social media sites to download the Mindful Me Journal.
