Abstract
This study used a longitudinal, probability sample survey, Understanding Society Covid‐19, to examine young people's post‐16 educational aspirations at the height of the Covid‐19 pandemic, with a particular emphasis on four vulnerable groups (namely, young carers; Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic young people; young people with long‐term illness and disability; and people with internalising and externalising behavioural difficulties). The findings from this study showed young carers and young people with health conditions to be less likely to choose A levels, despite reporting roughly equal levels of school engagement and school‐related support. The Covid‐19 pandemic has laid bare the obstacles often faced by young carers and young people with pre‐existing health conditions and behaviour difficulties. It is hoped that the findings will contribute to debates about social care and education and will have implications for public policy and action, especially as public services are under enormous strain and are less likely to reach those who need them most.
