The report shows five surprising points:

1. Learning Never Stops: More Gen Z kids see education as a lifelong journey. Now, almost 70% think they need to keep learning throughout life. This is up from 59% before the pandemic.

2. Degrees Not the Only Option: Most Gen Z  (75%) still value a four-year college degree. But, they are starting to consider shorter learning paths, like 2-3 year courses. This shows a more practical attitude towards education.

3. Not Ready for What's Next: Only about one in ten students feels ready to choose what to do after high school. They have concerns about how to pay for it, what job path to follow, health, and climate change. This tells us there's a big gap in preparing kids for the future.

4. Choosing Passion Over Money: Gen Z kids care more about enjoying their job than earning a lot of money. They want careers that match their interests, showing the importance of job satisfaction.

5. Confident But Worried About the Future: Here's an interesting point. Gen Z kids feel good about themselves, even more than before the pandemic. But, they're not confident about the future of the world. This shows a worry about society that could affect their future choices.

This survey clearly shows that Gen Z is thinking differently about school and work. In these unsure times, they need our help to prepare for what's coming. As they learn to adapt, we must make sure they have the tools and support they need for their future.
