NRW launches major student feedback initiative at all schools - North Rhine-Westphalia launches sweeping student well-being feedback initiative
North Rhine-Westphalia is rolling out a large-scale student feedback programme across all its schools. The initiative aims to gather detailed insights into pupils' emotional well-being and their experiences in the classroom. Officials describe it as a response to research highlighting gaps in social and emotional support for many learners.
Students will share their views through a secure digital portal, answering questions about their worries, relationships, and sense of belonging. Primary school children will complete 30 questions, while secondary pupils will respond to 40. All feedback will remain anonymous to encourage honesty.
The collected data will be processed into digital reports for teachers and school leaders. These summaries are designed to help educators identify areas where students may need more support. Education Minister Dorothee Feller has emphasised that social and emotional development is just as important as academic achievement. Contrary to some reports, the programme is not linked to earlier digitalisation projects like *Digital Making Places* or talent scouting schemes. Instead, it focuses solely on understanding students' emotional and social needs within the school environment.
The feedback system will provide schools with concrete data on pupil well-being. Teachers will use the reports to shape support strategies and improve classroom participation. The initiative marks a shift toward treating emotional development as a core part of education.
