Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many students progressed from level 2 NVQ to further training and education in each of the further education colleges in Greater Manchester in the last five years for which information is available.

The Department cannot provide local progression data from NVQ level 2 as requested, as it does not hold the relevant data centrally.

Destination data has been published for 2013/14 on the basis of college type and provider level. This is available in Tables 3 and 5 at the link below:

The data shows that in England, 18% of those completing full level 2 were participating in sustained learning.

81% of those completing full level 2 also had a sustained positive outcome (employment and/or learning).
