School stress and overwhelming: How young people suffer under pressure!

Ort, Österreich - The school landscape is under enormous pressure! In a recent survey by the learning square, Austrian high school students rated their “school-life balance” with alarming 5.26 out of 10 points, which is interpreted as a modest certificate. Exam stress, family conflicts and lack of free time not only put a strain on the students mentally, but also physically. Angela Schmidt, spokeswoman for learning square, warns: "The stress of school life affects the young people in many ways." Over half of the respondents feel under pressure by unfair grooming and lack of recognition in class. This not only increases stress, but also leads to strong health complaints such as insomnia and headache.

psychological problems among students

Another disturbing aspect is the study of the “German school barometer”, which provides information about the psychological well -being of students. For example, a fifth of young people indicate to recognize psychological abnormalities, and with just as many, a low school well -being. Important factors such as the quality of teaching and the general school climate are crucial here. According to the research results that were collected on behalf of the Robert Bosch Foundation, 25 percent of the students have a low quality of life. Such alarming numbers show that the need for action in schools is greater than ever in order to promote the well -being of the students and to have a positive impact on the development.

Both examinations illustrate the seriousness of the situation in schools and show how important changes in educational culture are. According to the learning square, students want fewer exams and more practice -oriented content. A positive school atmosphere could be created by more feedback and transparency in the grading. These insights should be seen as an impetus to fundamentally reform the image of everyday school life and to focus on the well -being of the students. Both society and the educational institutions are required to reduce the psychological and physical stress of young people.

The results and the recommendations for action derived from this offer a clear way for future developments in education. The concerns of the students and their desire for more participation and support must be taken seriously in order to improve education sustainably.
