Happy School

The educational system is one of the most influential institutions in society in advancing long-term goals

Humans feel needs in their existence during childhood. The effect of these needs is clearly visible in all stages of human maturity, and due to the age and inner characteristics of children, it should be given great importance in the periods of childhood and adolescence. These needs create work motivations and the formation of children's behavior. Providing the basic and important needs of children heals their safety and physical and mental health and provides the paths to reach the goals of education in the educational system and causes the social and personal maturity of children.

• The school environment is a psychological and strategic factor and form

The physical dimension can give a good or bad feeling to the child
