Well-travelled, unworldy children. 24.09.2007.

Two reports on the same page of the Independent reveal that today's children are 3 times further travelled than their parents were.
As many as 43% (and rising) of kids have amassed around 25,000 miles by the age of 12, with 63% reaching beyond Europe and America.
I in 5 of British children cannot find the UK on a map of the world. I in 10 were not able to name a single continent and more than 20.000 in London did not know that they lived in England's capital city!

Today's children have
travelled the world but haven't a
clue where their home is.
