As we approach the end of another school year, new research suggests how Britain's school children are feeling as they look toward their futures, with the launch of a new event aiming to inspire today’s youth.
In a recent survey of primary school learners aged 7-11 conducted by the world’s leading learning company Pearson, it was revealed that only 54% of young children believe the statement ‘I can be whatever I want to be.’1 A further one in 10 said they feel like they have limited career options when they contemplate their futures. This comes after recent research from Education and Employers highlighted alarming statistics surrounding gender and aspirations at school.
'We are thrilled to introduce Dream Big Day, a unique initiative designed to inspire young minds and help them envision a future filled with opportunities,' said Colin Bell, CEO of Careermap Media Group. 'By engaging with industry professionals and participating in hands-on workshops, students will be encouraged to dream big and pursue their passions.' Dream Big Day will be held simultaneously at participating primary schools across the UK on June 28.
