Hugh Bayley – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of people aged (a) 16, (b) 17 and (c) 18 years living in (i) York and (ii) Yorkshire and the Humber were in (A) full-time education and (B) full-time education, employment or training in 2008-09 and in each year since.

Matthew Hancock

Estimates of the proportion of 16- and 17-year-olds participating in education and work-based learning are published in the “Participation in education, training and employment, age 16 to 18” statistical first release (SFR). This provides estimates at local authority level for full-time education, and the wider measure of education and work-based learning, but information on employment is not available at local level. The local estimates are only available for academic age 16- and 17-year-olds.

The SFR is published online here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/participation-in-education-training-and-employment-age-16-to-18
