Development of social-emotional learning (SEL) skills such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making contribute to the long-term success of children and youth. SEL skills help children learn, adapt to changing learning environments, and be more resilient in conflict and crisis settings. Integrating SEL into education policies and programming is a critical part of achieving UN Sustainable Development Goal 4.7, to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
