But if you're an optimist and if you think education should always be getting better and if you think young people's life chances should always be getting better, I would actually like to see the numbers surpassing the pre-pandemic levels.
I don't think our goal should be solely to revert the entire education system back to exactly what it was pre-pandemic.
I think we should be constantly tr striving
to improve opportunities and choices and options for young people.
So I think it is a good thing that both the Applicants Index and the Student Academic Experience Survey shows a bit of a reversion to the status quo anti pre-pandemic.
But I don't think that should be our goal.
I think as a sector, we should be hoping and doing things that mean both those surveys have more positive outcomes in future.
And hopefully, I mean, I think you're committed to the applicant index for the long term and we're committed to our survey for the long term.
So hopefully we'll be able to track those trends.
I mean, on that point, Jenny, another thing that really stood out for me on the survey, and it came up a lot in the webinar that you and we are happy jointly hosted on the day of the launch of the index is this point about data sharing.
Because it's not always the case, but it's often the case that data sharing between a school or a college and a university can be really positive.
So if you have particular needs and your teachers and your staff, your school or your college really understand you as a person and your needs.
And that information can be shared with university.
And that can be very positive.
It's not always positive.
Sometimes people have outgrown school or college and and want a completely clean break when they go up to higher education.
I get that.
But I think one almost shocking finding in your index, I think, is the high proportion of applicants who think this data is routinely shared.
when it just isn't because of data protection and you know, and there are good arguments on both sides.
There are good arguments for sharing it, there are bad arguments for sharing it, at least without people's permission.
