“The project gave us a better way to begin conversations at home—not only about universities, but about strengths, interests, and the kind of future our daughter wants.”

Trust in education is built through honest work and genuine collaboration. These are some of the first perspectives from students, educators, advisers, and families contributing to GYDL’s development. As the research grows, this page will grow with it.

Students, families, and educators
“Schools hold extensive information about academic performance, but much less about how students experience major decisions. GYDL could help us understand that missing part.”
Marius T.
Pilot School Principal
“A youth-led initiative that actively seeks academic guidance deserves attention. Students are contributing to the questions, while specialists help strengthen the research behind them.”
Prof. Ileana C.
Academic Adviser
“I appreciated being asked what influences my choices and where the pressure comes from. These are questions students do not always have the opportunity to answer honestly.”
Tudor A.
Secondary-School Student
“The emphasis on voluntary participation, anonymity, and clear communication gives schools a responsible foundation for involving young people in the research.”
Cristina B.
School Counsellor
“Comparing students’ experiences across educational systems can reveal both shared challenges and important local differences. That perspective could make the findings especially valuable.”
