A really relevant question! I think it depends on the subject, but overall I think more can be done to hone these skills in students who are going out into a very diverse global workforce. Without these skills, those who go on to education (F2F and Online) can be challenged that can negatively impact students' learning.
Many thanks,

Dear Dr. Rahimi,
I think it depends on what kind of educational settings students are in. If they are in educational institutions where traditional classrooms with teachers as authorities are at the core, cultivation of self-expression, self-esteem, EQ, mediation and problem-solving skills seems hindered.
Student-centered educational institutions are where cultivation of those skills is more effective. Students are provided with more opportunities to think, plan, decide, initiate, negotiate, tackle problems, and reflect as they struggle to complete projects.
From my observation, more educational institutions at present have adopted this student-centered trend even at early levels--and surprisingly in many cultures as well.
Sincerely,
Cameen
No, unfortunately not. At least not directly. These skills are acquired collaterally. Are invisible learnings o soft skills. I would like them to be tackled in a conscious way, but the educational systems, as they are today conceived, are not prepared to face this complex task.
