Further education and skills: March 2022

Details

This publication contains further education and skills statistics in England, including learner participation and achievements, covering the first 2 quarters (August 2021 to January 2022) of the 2021 to 2022 academic year (reported to date).

This comprises adult (aged 19 and over) government-funded further education (excluding schools and higher education) comprising:

  • education and training
  • basic skills
  • community learning

Also released are official statistics covering achievement rates covering the 2020 to 2021 academic year.

Previously this data would have been released as part of the standalone national achievement rate tables publication. As confirmed in our guidance, we will not publish any institution-level qualification achievement rates (QARs) in the national achievement rate tables for the 2020 to 2021 academic year in response to coronavirus (COVID-19). We are publishing high-level summaries of QARs for statistical purposes.

Headline further education figures include traineeships and apprenticeships where appropriate. However, for commentary specifically corresponding to these, see the apprenticeships and traineeships: March 2022 statistics publication.
