[MTC Global] The world’s largest assessment of teenage students suggests happiness is crucial to learning

​​

Parents and schools spend a lot of time worrying about how kids measure up academically. Less attention goes to how happy kids are while they're learning, and what that means for parents and schools.

The OECD is trying to change that. New results from its high-profile PISA test, used to measure student achievement among 15-year-olds around the world, take an entirely different tack from the usual focus on science, math, and reading.

Rather than concentrating on academic scores alone, the findings explore the critical connection between wellbeing, belonging, and achievement. (The report defines student wellbeing as "the psychological, cognitive, social, and physical qualities that students need to live a happy and fulfilling life.")
