Potentially that’s what’s happening for at least young people. I think not experiencing school for a big chunk of time for so many may have led to a shift on return in perspective. But we definitely need to look at it further from a lot of angles to assess what it is and why that’s a turning point!

I think there’s a lot of learning we can do from the pandemic about our education system Interestingly we found that YP’s school satisfaction has dropped considerably year on year since 2020 and while we can’t say for sure that’s definitely COVID related, this does need looking at critically.

… the last timepoint was from 2018. That’s important given MH declines pre-date 2018, but I think we need to look at more recent trends again. We generally need more statistical evidence in this area; our analysis showed school satisfaction has dropped a lot since 2020, which raises many questions!

After consulting experts and theory (and guided by feasibility/scale), we looked at academic pressure. Though there’s concern about how post-Gove changes impact YP, the (limited) most robust data suggests YP are not reporting greater pressure than before. BUT… 1/
