Should mental health be a compulsory subject in schools?

Exam pressure, social media and family expectations weigh heavily on students, but few schools teach them how to cope or when to ask for help.

The case for

• Students learn coping skills and to recognise warning signs early.

• Talking about it openly in class reduces stigma.

The case against

• It needs trained staff that most schools do not have.

• One class cannot replace counsellors, and the curriculum is already packed.
