Student success: How is it measured?

Student success is a concept that has been the subject of debate and reflection over the years. The question of how success in education is actually measured is more and more frequently raised. Traditionally, student success has been associated with examination grades, but this limited view has been criticised.

Today, there is a growing agreement about the fact that student success cannot be measured by grades alone. While it is true that grades are important and reflect the level of knowledge acquired by students, they are not the only indicator of their success. In fact, there are many factors that influence student success that go beyond academic grades.

One of these factors is the development of social and emotional skills. Successful students must not only be able to get good grades, but also to relate effectively to their peers, show empathy, resolve conflicts and have a good emotional balance. These skills are fundamental to their personal development and to their success in life.
	In addition, student success can also be measured through engagement and motivation. Successful students are those who show interest and enthusiasm for learning, who are actively engaged in their education and who have clear goals. Intrinsic motivation is a key factor in student success, as it drives students to strive and overcome obstacles.
