HOW MANY STUDENTS sleep with their mobile phone under their pillow – and what does the average secondary school pupil eat for breakfast?
These are some of the subjects covered in the CSO Census At School survey, the results of which were released today.
In total, 7,150 secondary school attendees from 216 schools completed the Phase11 questionnaire of the Census At School survey between August 2011 and August 2012.
Topics
The questionnaire covered topics ranging from what students have for breakfast, the types of sports they participate in, where they keep their mobile phones and how much they knew about the Olympics.
Some findings included:
Attributes
Students were also asked what attributes they would rather have, with most females and males (37 per cent) saying they would like ‘skill’, while more males (22.5 per cent) than females (7 per cent) said they would like ‘strength’.
Most students said they get out of bed between 7.30 – 7.59am (33.2 per cent), with a small proportion (around 4 per cent) sleeping until after 10am.
While 80 per cent of children said they eat breakfast before they leave for school, just over 10 per cent said they don’t have breakfast at all. Of those who said they don’t eat breakfast, most were in 4th (approximately 17 per cent of girls and 11 per cent of boys) and 5th (approximately 19 per cent of girls and 10.5 per cent of boys) year.
