"Happiness Index of Students Participating in Seoul-type Innovative Education District Higher Than Non-participants"
Participating Students Score 82.8, Non-Participating Students 78.6
Participating Students' Happiness Index Slightly Declines Compared to Last Year
[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced survey results showing that students participating in the Seoul-type Innovative Education District program have a higher happiness index than non-participating students.
On the 22nd, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education reported that the happiness index of 2,362 students participating in the Innovative Education District program was 82.8 points, higher than that of non-participating students (78.6 points), based on an analysis of the program's operational performance.
The youth happiness index is calculated as the sum of satisfaction with life, surrounding relationships, community, and school, as well as social trust in family, neighbors, and teachers.
This survey was conducted from November 4 to 23 last year, targeting 4,393 students. The happiness index of participants slightly declined compared to 2019 (83.7 points).
The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education explained, "Due to COVID-19, various face-to-face activities such as youth autonomy activities, clubs, and youth festivals became difficult, leading to an overall decrease in youth life satisfaction and trust; however, the happiness index of youth participating in the program remains high."
The Seoul-type Innovative Education District is an autonomous district where the local community supports students to engage in various experiential and autonomous activities that are difficult to do at school. Currently, all 25 districts of Seoul are designated as such.
