70% of Brits support a ban on social media for under 14s - in line with the international average and up 7 points in a year www.ipsos.com/en-uk/half-b...
Half of Britons rate the British education system as good, but lack of public funding seen as the biggest threat
In a break from the global trend, Britons now see the effects of social media and technology as the number one challenge facing young people (34%), ahead of mental health.
