Competing or complementary goals for primary education: social-emotional learning across the Nigerien education system

How do we define Social Emotional Learning (SEL)? It depends on who you ask.

Our new study in Diffa, Niger, finds that SEL means different things to different stakeholders—for some, it’s psychosocial support in conflict settings; for others, a tool to improve classroom learning, manage stress, or even instill moral values.
This underscores a key challenge: SEL programs must be locally grounded, not universally applied.
