Your voices, our future
This year, The Pearson School Report, brings together over 12,000+ teacher, student and sector voices on education – the challenges, solutions in action, and opportunities for the future.
Since 2022, our reports have showcased educator and student views that have fuelled conversations from playgrounds to the Houses of Parliament. This year we've taken it even further.
In one week, 97% of teachers have witnessed students having difficulty engaging with their learning.
2 in 3 educators went into teaching in order to make a difference in pupils’ lives.
1 in 2 schools offer training in mental health and wellbeing. A similar number are offering training in SEND.
86% of students say they want to learn about topics that are more relevant to them and their lives.

- Primary Pupil
We could only feature so many perspectives in the report itself. So, in the spirit of including as many as possible and broadening the conversation, we're sharing more perspectives, from teachers, students and the education community on our dedicated Your Voices page.
Building on the insights and commitments of the Pearson School Reports to date, we’ll work alongside the education community to continue seeking answers to four key questions:
Schools across the country are helping students think critically, connect ideas and apply what they know. In an AI-driven world, these skills matter more than ever. With this in mind, AI Awareness Day gives schools a way to build AI literacy: “to know AI, question it, and use it wisely”.
New findings from Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L) reveal that at least 1.65 million primary and secondary students and over 250,000 college students in England may not be both emotionally ready and at the expected academic level to move on to the next stage of their learning.
76% of maths teachers responding to Pearson’s 2024 School Report stated that teacher recruitment and retention was a top challenge for their school to manage. Followed by budget pressures (51%) and teacher/school leader workload (41%).
These are all widespread issues affecting many maths teachers, day in and day out. They require whole-sector collaboration to improve. But there are also solutions available now to help ease the strain.
