(asked on 16th October 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of students that completed further education in (a) Ashfield constituency, (b) Nottinghamshire and (c) England went on to (i) university, (ii) a full-time job and (iii) an apprenticeship in each of the last five years.
Destination measures were produced for students who entered an A level or other Level 3 qualification in June 2014 for the 2010/11 cohort, showing their destinations in 2011/12. This was the first time that the data had been compiled separately for Further Education (FE) students – those in FE colleges, sixth form colleges and FE providers – and those in school sixth forms
The table below shows data for England and Nottinghamshire local authority (LA) for FE students. Separate figures for full-time employment are not available. No figures are available for Ashfield constituency as it has no relevant FE or sixth form colleges.
The tables, which include comparable data for school sixth forms, are published online:
