| The main scope of the study is the measurement of soft (socio-emotional) skills of non- compulsory secondary education students in Greece. The aim is to compare the levels of these skills among students attending the country’s general and vocational high schools and to contrast them with the needs of the labor market in Greece. The study also seeks to promote further the understanding of the characteristics and factors that influence the formation and development of the students’ soft skills. Given the significant information gap in the development of soft skills, especially as opposed to cognitive skills, this study attempts to help fill this gap by identifying policies and practices related to the development of these skills. The ultimate goal is to provide better support to the development of the social and emotional skills of the students. This is based on the premise that a holistic approach — promoting both cognitive and non-cognitive skills — is best suited to enabling the students to reach their full potential. |
