Coronavirus has impacted all levels of education, from nurseries to final exams. But for many 17 and 18 year olds, the impact has been particularly acute.

These students have had their A Level exams cancelled, and many are likely to be starting university or work with social distancing and remote learning in place. This year group were also the first to experience the new GCSE exam system two years ago.

For many 17 and 18 year olds, key milestones have been permanently altered by coronavirus, with important birthdays, celebratory summer plans, and moving out of home all permanently altered by the pandemic.

We’d like to know how this age group are managing the impact of coronavirus on their education or work.
