interesting – however it leaves a couple of questions
where are engineering framework figures
what affect are these frameworks having on overall success of providers
did the RAF for example only provide the higher performing frameworks
Interestingly, if you take the bottom 5 performers and strip these out the success rate on the 355,260 leavers is 71.4%, not so much of a drop.
The elmfield crash and burn alone accounts for about 1.4% of the drop.
Still a drop but not as sensational as the headline suggests. More worrying for me is that 170,000 of those 370,00 leavers were aged over 24. Cheap labour in the guise of publically funded education.
