The Ministry of the People, Social Development and Family Services (MPSDFS) has noted with concern the recent media reports relating to a teenager who tragically lost his life due to examination-related anxiety.
The Ministry extends its deepest condolences to the family and is taking the opportunity to remind parents and children of the mechanisms in place to support the mental well-being of students through its Child Affairs Division (CAD).
The Ministry remains steadfast in its commitment to protect the most vulnerable and is encouraging students to adopt healthy strategies for managing examination- related stress. In support of this, and in collaboration with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Ministry launched the Mindful Me Journal, a resource designed to help students navigate school pressures and cope with test-related anxiety.
