| description | This study explores the impact of parental divorce on students’ interactions, social relationships, and academic engagement in Ajman Cycle One schools, drawing on the perspectives of teachers, and school well-being staff. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a survey with teachers and interviews with social workers to ensure methodological triangulation. The quantitative and qualitative findings revealed significant difficulties among students from divorced families in interacting with peers and teachers, characterised by social withdrawal, reduced engagement, and reluctance to seek help, in addition to emotional dependence, aggression, and lack of social skills, emphasising the role of parental presence in a student’s life. The study aligns with prior research on the emotional and psychological effects of divorce, while also identifying context-specific challenges. Recommendations include targeted academic support, social skills workshops, counselling, and school-based interventions to foster resilience and improve the social and academic outcomes for affected students. These findings highlight the critical role of schools in mitigating divorce’s impact. |
