Holistic education: good for everyone - a podcast by RNZ

A pilot programme is exploring the importance of social and emotional learning at school. New Zealand scores poorly in a rating for youth social-emotional wellbeing, and new research from the University of Canterbury suggests children flourish when education is holistic and culturally responsive, in addition to be academic. Professor Letitia Fickel joins Kathryn to talk about the research and the trial underway at two primary schools in Otautahi Christchurch.
