IQ represents a person's level of intelligence, but research from the University of Illinois on emotional intelligence (EQ) has found that children who undergo EQ training perform 11% better academically. As a result, many elementary and middle schools in the U.S. now offer EQ training courses.

According to the University of Illinois study, in addition to learning math and science, students should also participate in social and emotional training courses because EQ is just as important as IQ. Children who receive social and emotional training perform 11 percentage points better academically than those who do not. This is because individuals with high EQ are better at controlling their emotions, leading to improved focus and consequently better academic performance.

Many elementary and middle school teachers also believe that participating in social and emotional training courses is a future trend, as knowing how to interact with others is just as important as achieving high scores in exams. Truly intelligent individuals naturally excel in both social interactions and academic performance.
