World Youth Skills Day 2021 Impact of COVID-19 on children and young people’s education, wellbeing and life opportunities: What do the public think? IPSOS GLOBAL ADVISOR: EMBARGOED UNTIL JULY 15 Key findings A Global Country Average of 40% think maintaining focus and concentration will be one of the biggest issues affecting children and young people as they return to the classroom. Worse mental health and wellbeing, as well as missed formal education resulting in worse qualifications, are expected to be the longest-lasting outcomes of the pandemic for children and young people. Nevertheless, the public remain supportive of school closures. A global country average of 62% think school closures were/are an acceptable price to pay to reduce the spread of the virus, despite their perceived negative outcomes. Support for families who need it to fund education-related expenses is seen as key to improving access to education post-COVID-19. Despite this, a global country average of just 27% want their governments to prioritise spending on primary and secondary education, while a global country average of just 15% think vocational education and training should be a priority area for public spending.

These are the results of a 29-country survey conducted by Ipsos on its Global Advisor online platform. Ipsos interviewed a total of 20,010 adults, aged 18-74 in the United States, Canada, Malaysia, South Africa, and Turkey, aged 18-65 in Singapore, and age 16-74 in 23 other countries between Friday, May 21st and Friday, June 4th, 2021. Data collection in Singapore took place between 11 and 15 June. The sample consists of approximately 1,000 individuals in each of Australia, Belgium, Canada, mainland China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United States, and 500 individuals in each of Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Hungary, India, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey. © Ipsos World Youth Skills Day 2021| July 2021 | Public The samples in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the US can be taken as representative of their general adult populations under the age of 75. The samples in Brazil, mainland China, Chile, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, and Turkey are more urban, more educated, and/or more affluent than the general population. The survey results for these countries should be viewed as reflecting the views of the more “connected” segment of their population. The data is weighted so that each country’s sample composition best reflects the demographic profile of the adult population according to the most recent census data. The “Global Country Average” reflects the average result for all the countries and countries where the survey was conducted. It has not been adjusted to the population size of each country or country and is not intended to suggest a total result. Where results do not sum to 100 or the “difference” appears to be +/-1 more/less than the actual, this may be due to rounding, multiple responses, or the exclusion of “don’t know” or not stated responses. The precision of Ipsos online polls is calculated using a credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.5 percentage points and of 500 accurate to +/- 5.0 percentage points. For more information on the Ipsos use of credibility intervals, please visit the Ipsos website. The publication of these findings abides by local rules and regulations. THANK YOU.
