Unit 5: Learner and Teacher Welfare

Learner and staff welfare in a school significantly impact educational outcomes and daily operations. School leaders play a crucial role in promoting the welfare of learners and teachers. This unit covers Psychosocial Support for Learners, guidance and counselling as well as mentorship for learners. 

Many learners are affected by serious, yet easily treatable and preventable illnesses which inhibit their ability to learn. This necessitates an urge for JSs to understand their critical role in managing health, nutrition and safety issues in their schools thereby enhancing academic performance and the overall well-being of students.
