Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the average A-level achievement of those entering Bachelor of Education degree courses.
The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes statistics on students studying at UK higher education institutions (HEIs).
The following table, which is attached, is taken from HESA’s publication ‘UK Performance Indicators 2016/17: Widening participation’. It shows the distribution of entry qualifications for UK domiciled young entrants to full-time first degrees in education subjects and compares this with the distribution across all subjects.
