Description: This study aims to identify the socio-environmental support and socio-educational participation to improve educational wellbeing among secondary school children in Sri Lanka. Socio-environmental support refers to parent, teacher, peer, community, and virtual support. Socio-educational participation considers parent participation in student learning and students' participation in lessons and school activities. Students' educational wellbeing is based on access to relevant resources, enhancing soft, social, and hard skills functioning and capabilities that they need to achieve a happy and fulfilling life. A survey is carried out among 1350 students in five zones, namely, the north, east, south, west, and the central Sri Lanka. Data are analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 23. The descriptive and inference analyses use frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, MANOVA, and multiple regressions. Using Cronbach's Alpha for all constructs, results of the pilot study show high reliability at 0.898-0.951. The descriptive analysis shows a moderate level of the socio-environmental support, socio-educational participation, and student's educational wellbeing among secondary school children in Sri Lanka, while MANOVA analysis shows significant differences of the three factors based on gender, parental income, and parental educational level. Multiple regression analysis using the stepwise method reveals that socio-environmental support and socio- educational participation have substantial contributions and correlation to students' educational wellbeing. However, no correlation is observed between teacher support and students' educational wellbeing. This study shows that socio-environmental support, socio-educational participation, and demographic factors are important elements in student learning and relate to their educational wellbeing. Implications show the need for student-centred teaching methods and good teacher-student relationship. In addition, the Ministry of Education needs to improve the secondary school curriculum, both subject and co-curricular, in line with the 21st-century learning. School authorities can carry out intervention programmes for teachers, parents, and local communities to enhance their involvement in improving student participation in lesson and school activities, further nurturing and enhancing their educational wellbeing that is now highlighted as current issues.,Ph.D
