Education
Do you think your country has a good education system?
Young people are growing up in a time of rapid technological change, economic uncertainty and shifting expectations about what it takes to succeed. In the 2026 Ipsos Education Monitor, we look at evolving attitudes towards social media and AI, the role universities play in shaping success, and expectations for the next generation. This year's findings reveal that, across 31 countries, people remain concerned about the pressures facing the next generation, while becoming more nuanced in their views about technology and education.
