Global Survey Sheds Light on Classroom Engagement
Student and teacher engagement continues to be a huge challenge across the world, yet we know it's one of the biggest indicators of student success. What will it take to ensure that everyone is engaged in the classroom?
We conducted a global survey of over 6,000 teachers, parents and students (across Australia, Germany, South Korea, the UK and the US) to uncover what engages, inspires, and builds confidence in students and educators.
The State of Classroom Engagement Report uncovers surprising findings about the ripple effects engagement has on academic outcomes.

The Challenge
Around the world, students are not engaged in school. It's affecting their well-being and leaving them unprepared for their future.
1 in 3 global teachers and parents say students are engaged at school.
29% of global teachers describe their students as underperforming.
57% of global teachers say their students have just surface level understanding of subject matter.
The Solution
Taking a hands-on learning through play approach is the key to driving up engagement for both students and their teachers.
Students who are engaged in learning are 4x happier and 5x more confident than unengaged students.
7 in 10 global teachers believe that a learning through play approach supports better student outcomes including higher test scores, grades, and attendance.
80% of global teachers say learning through play supports improved collaboration, problem-solving skills, self-motivation, and knowledge retention.
9 in 10 global teachers believe it’s never too late to engage students in learning.
