Abstract:

The effect of the recent COVID-19 pandemic that hit the entire world is indeed immesurable. This has been observed particularly those in the educational setting- the students. Mental health problems are acknowledged to pose barriers to learning (Adelman & Taylor, 2020) in part because diminished mental health limits a person’s ability to engage at school. In this paper, we offer a contemporary definition of youth mental health, as operationalized through a dual-factor model that recognizes that psychological wellness and illness are interrelated yet separable, and both matter to student success. With the recent world pandemic brought by COVID-19 have caused so much disturbance to people regardless of their sex, age, economic situations or qualifications. Such situation did not spare anyone. Students are one of the key sectors in the school setting. Needless to say, any stakeholders of the college have been affected into varying degrees.
