Abstract

Holistic education that promotes children’s well-being is the core objective of schools. Despite all the sincere efforts by the authorities of most schools across society, with some variations, many school children experience a range of adversities which mostly go unnoticed. This article attempts to highlight some of the major adversities faced by school children up to higher secondary levels in India. A summary of the available secondary literature indicates that school children experience adversities like academic stress, caused by parental pressure, abuse and neglect, including corporal punishment, family violence, social discrimination, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation and suicide. Evidence also suggests a supportive family environment and positive parent-child relationship minimise adversities and mental health challenges. Mental health support facilities are missing in most of the schools in India. In the given situation, school-based family counselling is recommended, which would benefit school children in addressing the issues they face. Further research that addresses the effectiveness and scalability of school-based mental health programs is needed as well as prioritising child protection as a national agenda.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
