Beyond Grades: Cultivating Emotional Intelligence and Social Well-Being

Abstract

Grades often measure academic success, yet actual personal and professional growth extends beyond numerical scores. Beyond Grades: Cultivating Emotional Intelligence and Social Well-being explores the vital roles that social well-being and emotional intelligence (EI) play in promoting holistic development. Self-awareness, self- control, drive, empathy, and social skills are all components of emotional intelligence, and they have a significant influence on students’ ability to navigate academic pressures, build meaningful relationships, and maintain mental well-being. Social well- being, characterized by a sense of belonging, positive interpersonal interactions, and a supportive environment, further contributes to students’ success and happiness.
