Well-being experiences
Table STT1.8 shows the proportions of grade five and grade seven students who reported experiencing the associated condition at least most of the time.
In Palau, 66% of all students reported they had a good day ‘Most of the time’ or ‘Always’; and 65% of grade five students and 61% of grade seven students reported they looked forward to the next day ‘Most of the time’ or ‘Always’.
For frequent negative experiences, many students reported feeling hungry (grade five, 40%; grade seven, 37%), tired (grade five, 42%; grade seven, 51%), or upset (grade five, 19%; grade seven, 28%) either ‘Most of the time’ or ‘Always’. These proportions were, mostly, higher than what was seen in the region at similar levels of education.
What does this mean?
About two out of three students in Palau, at least most of the time, had good days and looked forward to the next day. Many well-being challenges are, however, being regularly experienced by students in Palau. In particular, a large proportion are regularly hungry, tired, and upset. These areas should be investigated further as they may affect student performance and well-being.
