Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many students on a 16 to 19 study programme and without a GCSE grade C or above in English, did not study either a GCSE or an approved alternative qualification in English in 2013-14.

Data on study and attainment by 16-18 year old students without a grade C or above in English and/or mathematics relating to 2013/14 is not yet available, but is due to be published on www.gov.uk in September 2015.
