Solutions for supporting students in the pandemic
We asked, students voted
Between 21st - 27th April, we polled 1,234 students on our site. Check out the insight below and don't forget to book onto our free webinar on creating meaningful digital experiences.
Year 13 applicants poll:
Yes, I'm planning on attending if I get a place
I'm still unsure on if I will attend or not
No, I'm planning on deferring or taking a gap year (UK student)
I'm planning on not going to uni at all in light of Covid-19
No, I'm planning on deferring or taking a gap year (International student)
What action should you take?
Since respondents overwhelmingly said they would be attending in 2020, connecting with students is as important as ever.

Government information poll:
Are you getting enough relevant information from the government?
No
Yes
Comments from users on The Student Room shed some light on the poll result:
"I want to hear Gavin Williamson and Ofqual to see what will be done for the Y10’s and Y12’s."
"no word on what will happen with schools"
"I think a lot of the problem is that the advice particularly on the daily press briefings is very waffle-y and repetitive."
