Girls are more likely than boys to respond to lessons about climate change - but they are also more likely to worry, according to new research. The report, led by a team from University College London (UCL), investigated the experiences of students in English schools and their perceptions of climate change.

Governments need to do more to boost financial literacy among students, said the OECD on releasing their latest PISA publication. The study, a money-focused section of a wider report on education, is based on tests completed by nearly 100,000 15-year-olds in 2022. Participating students were located across 14 OECD and 6 partner economies.
