»Die COVID-19-Pandemie hatte tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf das soziale Umfeld von Jugendlichen – mit anhaltenden Folgen, die ihr Wohlbefinden weiterhin beeinflussen«

Adolescents have faced many challenges over the past four years, especially with the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to drastic changes in school experiences for millions of primary and secondary school students in the European Union. It may well be that this disruption to school life has led to ongoing changes in young people’s experiences of school and the extent to which they feel connected and supported at school.

As adolescents’ experiences at school influence their cognitive development and physical and mental health and well-being in both the short and long terms, it is paramount to continue monitoring adolescents’ school experiences. Continued long-term surveillance of adolescents’ experiences at school provide the necessary tools for ensuring that all young people experience inclusive, equitable and quality education in line with Sustainable Development Goal 4. In addition, given the recent negative trends identified in school experiences, there is a need for new initiatives focusing on students' academic and social environments to promote adolescents’ mental health and well-being.
