A new report from UCL researchers who analysed data in the recent Trends in International Maths and Science study finds that pupils in English secondary schools have some of the lowest school engagement rates around the world, with rates dropping amongst the fastest following the pandemic. Furthermore, girls in year 9 in participating countries around the world reported feeling significantly less safe in 2023 than in 2019, with England seeing one of the biggest drop-offs. In 2023, girls in England in year 9 were 22% less likely to strongly agree that they felt safe at school compared to 2019, which was significantly larger than boys in England (10% decline) and the international average (13% decline).
