Key Insights:

  • KHDA in Dubai has made it a success criterion for schools to promote emotional intelligence as wellness physically & mentally.
  • Create campaigns on campus and off-campus, by city officials and schoolmates, on how to be emotionally intelligent online- to be more inclusive, stop cyberbullying & support group.
  • Schools, teachers, and school workers should introduce Emotional Intelligence on their Social Platforms, to bring about a sense of responsibility caring, and adult supervision.

Covid-19 has created a difficulty in understanding emotional cues, as wearing masks has created a facial reading barrier. In the future, people will likely become better communicators as they learn to live under a new normal.
