Ensuring students wellbeing in primary education: a case study of primary schools in Bangladesh / Rezuan Chowdhury and Syeda Aliza Salik

Wellbeing is a fundamental component in primary education. This research aims at studying the importance of wellbeing for the primary learners. Many primary students struggle to express their feelings of anxiety, sadness and anger either in school or at home. The objective of this study is to let the educators explore ways to help the learners to overcome this mental stress and enable them to express their feelings in a comfortable way. A mixed methodology has been used to find out the current wellbeing practice in primary schools in Bangladesh. Data and information have been collected from journals, newspapers, school blogs and websites. In this paper we tried to present a comparative picture of students’ wellbeing in primary schools in Bangladesh and in the schools of other developed countries. Some information has been gathered about the limitations of different primary schools to ensure students' wellbeing. Educators and learners from various countries have participated in a survey and suggested some crucial points to establish students' wellbeing in the primary education sector.
