Happiness begets happiness

Teaching happiness and well-being as part of building positive psychology and value education is among the most explored educational ideas of contemporary times. Delhi’s AAP government has recently launched a “happiness curriculum” in 1,000 Delhi government schools, covering about 50,000 teachers and 4 lakh students.

The relevance of such a curriculum is well-established. Yet, there are susceptibilities that the Delhi government may need to consider. The role of teachers in ensuring that such a curriculum is delivered in its true spirit merits careful attention. My interactions with government school teachers in Delhi revealed two concerns. First, they are generally professionally dissatisfied and they stick to the occupation due to the benefits it offers — particularly that of job security and pension. Given such an outlook, wouldn’t it have been better to measure a happiness index among teachers first? It is logical to contend that teachers who are demoralised or stressed will be ill-suited to teach “happitude” to children.

On a personal note, I have attended a number of sessions of Laughing yoga, I do not think it has made any difference.
