Details

Participation measures are estimated by tracking pupil cohorts aged 15 as they progress into higher education. Information is available by:

• age (up to age 35)
• gender
• region
• level of study
• mode of study

A new methodology was introduced in the 2020 to 2021 edition of these statistics, which was explained in our letter about a temporary suspension for higher education participation national statistics to the Office for Statistics Regulation.
