The critically acclaimed drama series “Adolescence” will soon be accessible to secondary schools across the UK. The series debuted in March and consists of four gripping episodes that delve into the complexities of youth and the challenges of growing up. Set in modern-day Britain, “Adolescence” explores themes such as identity crisis, social pressures, mental health, and the loss of innocence.
Its poignant storytelling and realistic portrayal of teenage struggles have garnered widespread praise from critics and audiences. The initiative to make “Adolescence” available in UK secondary schools aims to provide educational institutions with a resource that can address critical issues faced by students today. Schools can use the series as a tool to spark discussions and awareness around these important topics.
The show’s creator, Emma Jones, expressed her excitement about reaching a younger audience.
Adolescence reaches UK classrooms
We created ‘Adolescence’ to shine a light on the real, often unspoken challenges faced by young people.
It’s gratifying to know that it will now serve an educational purpose, helping students navigate their own experiences,” Jones said. The series has collaborated with educational bodies to ensure that accompanying teaching materials are provided. This will enable educators to integrate the series into their curriculum effectively.
These materials include discussion guides, lesson plans, and resources on mental health support. As schools prepare to welcome this innovative addition to their educational tools, “Adolescence” is poised to significantly impact. It will influence how the next generation understands and discusses the complexities of adolescence.
