75% of students "always" or "often" have episodes of stress caused by school, 44% of them feel inadequate and insecure due to hypercompetition at school which makes learning more difficult for 17% of participants.
Half of the girls and boys would experience school with less stress if there was less study at home,
and there are those who ask for more extracurricular activities and meeting spaces.
This is what emerges
from the survey "School and Wellbeing: Beyond hypercompetition and standardization", an event born from the collaboration between Unisona Live and Unicef, sponsored by the Municipality of Milan and the Ministry of Education and Merit
dedicated to upper secondary schools and the last year of lower secondary schools.
The free participation of students from all over Italy was guaranteed thanks to the support of the Conad ETS Foundation.
Over 25,500 students and teachers participated
, connected online in live streaming, who shared a space for reflection and debate on the crucial topic of the psychosocial well-being of adolescents in the school environment.
The meeting, led by Sofia Viscardi in the role of moderator, involved UNICEF experts in a dialogue with the actress Ludovica Bizzaglia, the young members of the Youth Advisory Board (YAB) and the psychologist Paola Versari.
"The success of the event "School and Wellbeing: Beyond hypercompetition and standardization" testifies to the importance and urgency of addressing the issue of the psychosocial well-being of adolescents in the educational sector, and confirms the commitment of Unisona Live and Unicef in promoting inclusive education oriented towards the well-being of students.
