Towards the end of last summer, we published a piece by Will Self arguing that of all the groups whose lives had been destabilised by the pandemic, young adults represented the hardest hit – their education disrupted, qualifications invalidated, prospects dashed and rites of passage denied.
It was a prescient critique, and one that continues to be borne out by emerging evidence. Research published in February by the non-profit organisation ImpactEd showed that GCSE pupils were the least engaged in schoolwork and had the lowest well-being scores. Government research into how the pandemic has affected students in higher education found that 53% of students were dissatisfied, with many reporting lower levels of purpose and happiness. Meanwhile, a recent survey found that university students have wasted nearly £1bn on empty rooms because of coronavirus restrictions.
