ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMET GOALS: EXPLORING SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY EDUCATION

Abstract

The sustainable goal to access assured inclusive and equitable quality is still far. The primary goal of quality education focuses on effective educational or learning outcomes and cognitive skills rather than school attendance and enrolment. It includes youths and adults who have relevant skills and knowledge. This aim of education can be obtained through the inclusion of social and emotional learning in education, because the social and emotional education or learning also focuses the attention on skills with academic achievements. Failing to meet students’ social and emotional needs will continue to fuel gaps in opportunity and achievement for students. Social and emotional learning improves emotions, attention, learning, memory, academic achievement, coping abilities, limit drugs and alcohol addiction, increase school connectedness, and increase the capacity of students to learn skills. Social and emotional education plays an important role in providing quality education.
