This study focuses on analyzing the development of socio-emotional competencies as essential elements for the academic success of students at the Marco Fidel Suárez educational institution, located in the municipality of Ciénaga de Oro, Colombia. Faced with a notable deficit in skills such as self-regulation, empathy, and conflict resolution, students face challenges both academically and personally; for this purpose, an exhaustive investigation was carried out aimed at understanding the influence of these competencies on academic performance, as well as on the general well-being of the students. The results showed that strengthening socio-emotional competencies has positive effects on academic performance, the school environment, and students' interpersonal relationships. Based on these findings, practical strategies for implementing socio-emotional learning (SEL) programs are proposed, highlighting their relevance for transforming the educational environment in similar contexts.
