Student polling for the International Baccalaureate

Public First has today published the findings from a survey carried out for the International Baccalaureate (IB) of its students around the world. Distributed by IB teachers, the poll collected more than 10,000 responses from students (aged 13-18) across the globe who attend a school that offers IB. The survey was designed to specifically explore young people’s attitudes to two of the most pressing issues facing the world today: the rise of artificial intelligence and the climate crisis. The findings are fascinating, taking in differences between school-type attended, geography and gender. One third of the respondents were state-school funded (37%), nearly half were funded via tuition fees (46%), 17% were unsure.

The polling script was written and developed by Public First – as was the analysis of the results.

The research was carried out between the 17th November and 18th December 2023.
