In our third episode of the Empoword Opinions Podcast, Eva and Aarthee are joined by guests Heather and Annaleece to discuss education during the Covid-19 pandemic.
From remote learning to an almost non-existent social life, young people have experienced a lot throughout the last year. Our guests shared how they have coped with this upheaval, as their education was directly impacted by Coronavirus: Heather had her A Level exams cancelled last year, while Annaleece was unable to sit her GCSEs due to the pandemic.
However, our guests also looked towards the future with optimism and hope. This provided a refreshing perspective on what has been a hellish experience for young people up and down the country.
