City Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain said every school is required to employ a psychologist to look after mental health of children.
“Psychological support is especially needed for hyperactive and non-responsive children. With the help of a psychologist, it is possible to develop the latent talents of these children. If they get psychological support, they can become confident and creative,” he said.
Dr Shahdat said these while inaugurating ‘Preston International School’ in the city’s GEC area this afternoon.
Highlighting the role of psychologists in the mental development of students, he said that psychologists not only help reduce mental stress, but they also can read the minds of children and give them right direction.
