Over 80% of teachers believe that the focus on exams has become disproportionate to the wellbeing of pupils, according to the mental health charity YoungMinds. A survey of over teachers by the charity revealed that 70% think the government should rebalance the education system to focus more on student wellbeing. In a separate survey of over 1,000 parents, 92% said they think schools have a duty to support the wellbeing and mental health of students, and over a half want more information about what schools are doing to promote it.
