@SchleicherOECD China’s high PISA performance comes alongside significant student stress and burnout driven by high-stakes exams like the Gaokao. What policies can help balance academic achievement with student well-being?
@SchleicherOECD China ranks among the world's highest-performing education systems (evident from PISA results), but many students experience significant academic stress and burnout. How can the country maintain strong academic outcomes while better supporting student well-being?
China's intense, exam-centric education system can cause student burnout and mental health challenges for students. Organizations such as UNICEF China are working to improve youth mental health. Learn more here: https://t.co/g8QPufhIn3
China’s intense, exam-centric education system, driven by the Gaokao and reinforced by parental expectations, places pressure on young students, leading to stress, burnout, and mental health issues. #EM203
@imankhann_ Your concept map shows that academic pressure, combined with social media and isolation, leads to lower performance. The problem is made worse by too few counsellors, leaving in-school programs and digital tools unable to fully address the impact. #EM203problems
@EM203TRizzi Agreed! I find it interesting how people sometimes brag about being able to multitask, when in reality it hurts our focus and isn't typically helpful.
@CagninNoah Totally agree, reading about the various learning theories has been great! I especially enjoyed diving into constructivism and how reflecting on information and connecting it with personal experiences can allow students to thrive in online environments!
My first few weeks of EM203 were truly eye-opening! I especially enjoyed learning about connectivism and how knowledge is distributed across networks. Looking forward to learning more about education in the digital age! #EM203Robin
