🗓️ Academic Year Highlights: Launch of the Mindful Me Journal🚀📔
Examinations are major milestones in each child's educational path but they can cause significant stress to our young citizens. With the launch of the Ministry of the People, Social Development and Family Services' Mindful Me Journal, students no longer have to navigate examination stress without a roadmap.
On Wednesday 1st July, 2026, Dr. the Honourable Michael R. Dowlath, Minister of Education, joined the Honourable Vandana Mohit, Minister of the People, Social Development and Family Services at the St. George East launch of this powerful tool.
Minister Dowlath addressed students, parents, educators and officials present, reminding them that academic success cannot be separated from a child's mental health. "Let us continue to build schools where achievement and compassion can walk together, where children are encouraged to aim high, but never to feel that their worth depends on a mark."
Designed to offer emotional support to students preparing for examinations, the Mindful Me journal guides students through practical strategies to better understand their emotions and cope with examination-related stress.
The Ministry of Education remains committed to supporting student mental health and wellbeing through initiatives such as the School Climate Survey which gathers data to inform our responses to the psychological needs of students. By working hand in hand with our government and non-government partners, we can ensure our students receive the help and support they need to thrive as they go along their educational journeys.
