Official statistics announcement

Student loan forecasts, England: 2019 to 2020

Forecasts of student numbers, student loan expenditure and student loan repayments in England. As the demand increases for statistics and data to measure the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department for Education has had to change its data gathering and release practices, focussing efforts on priority analysis and statistics. Our statement of 26 March 2020 explains this further (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education/about/statistics#announcements) and, in line with guidance from the Office for Statistics Regulation (https://www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/covid-19-and-the-regulation-of-statistics/), the decision has been made to delay this publication until the Autumn. We will keep users updated of further changes via the Department for Education Statistics website.

These statistics will be released on 24 September 2020 9:30am
