This survey was conducted on behalf of Pearson from June 8-14, 2020 by The Harris Poll, a global market research firm based in New York City with over 50 years of history in polling. This 20-minute online survey was completed by 7,038 people aged between 16-70 years old across the globe. All data in this report show general online population data unless noted otherwise. Results are weighted for age, gender, region, urbanicity, race/ ethnicity, education, marital status, household income and/or socio-economic status to align respondents with actual proportions in their respective countries. Survey respondents were selected based on their age and quality of response from leading online research panels. The Global Learner Survey uncovered 7 key trends, all driven by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) There is no returning to a pre-COVID-19 education world; (2) Trust and confidence in education systems is on the rise nearly everywhere; (3) Learners expect schools to catch up with the times on issues of equity; (4) If online is here to stay, learners want a better experience; (5) The pressure is on to build skills that will sustain people through the pandemic and beyond; (6) Universities have more opportunity than ever to help drive economic recovery; and (7) Schools feel safer than home.
