Market Trends of Social and Emotional Learning Industry
The Elementary Schools Segment Drives the SEL Market
- According to a fall last year survey from Northwestern University, Iowa, an increasing number of educators focus on social and emotional learning. SEL is becoming more and more necessary in elementary school classrooms as mental health and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents rise. The application of SEL aids teachers while fostering students' enthusiasm for learning. Teachers can choose the best SEL program for their students and classrooms once the need has been identified, ensuring that each student's needs are met.
- BYJU'S (Think and Learn Pvt. Ltd), India's most popular learning app, has recently added 'Science' as a learning program for children in grades 1-3 on its Disney app. BYJU's Early Learn app is now available in India. The app aims to provide a more personalized experiential experience with an entirely new user-friendly interface. The enhanced digitally-enabled worksheets also support child handwriting recognition, making it a one-of-a-kind offering in the learning space.
- Likewise, "National University" also asserts that SEL can benefit individuals for the rest of their lives by fostering empathy, self-awareness, security, and classroom participation. It has been demonstrated that SEL program skills can improve students' capacity to deal with emotional stress, find solutions to problems, and resist peer pressure to engage in risky behavior. These elements drive the SEL market.

The program also includes easy online access to all course materials to simplify preparation, instruction, and progress tracking.

- Moreover, In May last year, Aperture Education, United States, a provider of research-supported social and emotional learning (SEL) assessments for kindergarten through high school schools, acquired Ascend. With this acquisition, Aperture will be able to expand its SEL services for high schools by providing a mobile-enabled software platform for school districts and after-school programs to engage students in their social and emotional learning.

Nearpod provides an interactive educational platform that integrates real-time formative assessment and dynamic media for live and self-learning experiences in and out of the classroom, allowing educators to see what their students are doing in real-time efficiently.

The USD 123 billion input to K-12 education in the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 delivers a crucial possibility to invest in systemic approaches to social and emotional learning (SEL) that thoroughly support students and schools through the pandemic and beyond. Such developments are augmenting the demand.
