Just under 100% of 13-year-olds agreed that they had made new friends in second-level education.
THE “VAST MAJORITY” of 13-year-olds smoothly made the transition into secondary school last year, with almost 100% of them agreeing that they had made new friends, irrespective of the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The annual report examines how young people are getting on in important areas of their lives such as education, physical health, socio-emotional wellbeing, pastimes and family circumstances. Those who started secondary school in September 2020 were more likely to report negative experiences around the return to school, including finding school work difficult.
Similarly, 63% of the same group reported that they enjoyed spending time with their family, when asked in the 2020 survey. “The report also highlights where more work is required to ensure that all children have the possibility to flourish and reach their potential,” O’Gorman added.
