Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has gained prominence as a global educational imperative over the last decades. This blog argues that SEL must move from its focus on individual behaviour to systemic transformation. It argues:

This involves recognizing how caste, gender, ethnicity, disability, and socioeconomic status intersect to influence not only access to education, but also the emotional experience of schooling.”
