Confidence survey
Who knew a third of young people in the UK weren’t confident? Well this is just one of the interesting facts discovered by Sky Academy’s study into confidence amongst 11 to 24 year olds across the UK.
In conjunction with YouGov we undertook extensive research into confidence – a key lifeskill that is central to Sky Academy. We looked at the confidence issues facing young people in the UK today, and drawn from over 1,600 11-24 year olds and 600 parents across the country – the findings were eye opening.
The research highlights a noticeable difference between the confidence levels of teenage girls and boys. 61% of girls struggle with confidence when starting a first day at school, college or a job, compared to only 46% of boys. It seems that as young people mature they go on a confidence journey. 64% of young people at the height of their teens experience a dip in their confidence levels as they become more worried about how they come across and express themselves in front of others. We found that confidence begins to return when young people build life experiences and a clearer sense of identity and this is why confidence is one of the six key skills that we focus on through Sky Academy. https://www.skyacademy.com/#/news/confidence-survey/
