Well-being at the heart of the student experience
The period of career choices is approaching quickly and many students and parents are wondering which school to attend.
Indeed, schools, temples of knowledge and teaching, must today more than ever respond to new CSR challenges and in particular the question of student well-being.
So how do we know which schools offer an exemplary student experience and demonstrate kindness and attentiveness to students?
This is a major problem that the Speak & Act company strives to address each year through its numerous CSR rankings and labels.
Indeed, the Best School Experience – Happiness Barometer ranking and label accredits schools offering the best student experience and, in fact, taking the most care of students.
Far from academic rankings, Speak & Act is primarily interested in the well-being of students.
To do this, Speak & Act collects and analyzes tens of thousands of student opinions each year in order to offer schools the opportunity to obtain the famous CSR label highlighting quality of life for a period of one year. that students benefit from within their school.
Student wellbeing raises the issue of mental health which is increasingly a topic considered in higher education.
As Niels Tatem, founder of Speak & Act, points out, “
no education system is perfect or 100% effective.
However, the student opinions that we collect each year serve both to promote schools making the effort to establish a caring environment for students and to enable schools to implement effective and fully action plans. targeted to the needs of students.
Beyond the acceleration of the technological and organizational transformation of schools, the Covid-19 health crisis has also highlighted the strong link between the effectiveness of an education system and the need to provide students with a environment promoting the well-
being of learners”.
It appears from the 2023 barometer that students are particularly satisfied with the environment in which they study with
a general satisfaction rate of 84%,
thereby increasing
their sense of belonging which is 79% in this year 2023
.
Proximity and support for students is at the heart of the student experience, as highlighted by
Delphine Bertin, Director of Student Experience at BSB
: “
At BSB, we cultivate an identity for the student experience built around the notions of proximity. and support – in all its dimensions – thanks in particular to a School size which ensures human and personalized relationships.
We have thus set up Pathfinder, a global and transversal system to support the student from the first day at BSB until their first job, with a 360° vision: academic, professional and personal.
Also, we are soon launching our One Health Center, an innovative structure with the ambition of placing students in the best conditions to carry out their project, with specific support on dimensions linked to health and well-being.
We are convinced that a student who feels good in his environment, in his body and in his mind, is a happy student, who thus benefits from the best conditions to learn effectively.
