Paperback | 64 Pages

Study skills for High School Learners: Simplified Guide to Effective Studying.

When people describe someone as “intelligent,” they are often referring to academic or cognitive ability. However, they seldom consider emotional intelligence, which refers to a person’s ability to understand and manage emotions effectively. Emotional intelligence is shown to be linked to more positive life outcomes than many other forms of intelligence.

To develop emotionally intelligent leaders for the future—across local, national, and global spheres—we must begin nurturing emotional intelligence at school level. For this reason, this book offers specific recommendations on how emotional intelligence can be fostered among learners, including those serving in Representative Councils of Learners (RCLs).
