The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collect data on students, staff and resources of higher education institutions (HEIs) in the UK. The data presented in this table is taken from HESA's Student Record which contains information on all students enrolled on credit bearing courses at UK HEIs. Further information about HESA and their data collections can be found on their website www.hesa.ac.uk This table is based on the HESA standard registration population is a count of all enrolments within the reporting year 1 August to 31 July. Students who leave within 2 weeks of their start date, or anniversary of their start date, and are on a course of more than two weeks duration, are not included in the standard registration population. Dormant students, incoming visiting and exchange students from overseas and students studying for the whole of their programme of study outside of the UK are also excluded from this population. Students who are on sabbatical and students who are writing-up are also excluded from this population. Postdoctoral students are not included in the HESA Student Record. Students being taught through the medium of Welsh are defined as students studying at least one module with a non-zero proportion of teaching through the medium of Welsh. See dimension notes for more detail. For each module the full-time equivalent of the module as a whole is recorded along with the proportion of the module taught through the medium of Welsh.The proportion of the module allocated to each subject (up to a maximum of four) is also recorded and as such the table shows the proportion of an instance years full-time study for the qualification aim that the module represents.

Further information about HESA and their data collections can be found on their website www.hesa.ac.uk The Student Record contains information about individual enrolments, which, because a student can be enrolled on more than one programme of study, will exceed the number of students. However, previous analysis has shown that for Welsh HEIs full-time enrolments are less than 1 per cent higher than full-time student numbers; part-time enrolments are less than 2 per cent higher than part-time student numbers. Postdoctoral students are not included in the HESA Student Record. Students being taught through the medium of Welsh are defined as students studying at least one module with a non-zero proportion of teaching through the medium of Welsh.

The GLA commissioned the Social Market Foundation to look at the reasons behind the non-continuation (drop-out) rate of undergraduates studying at London’s higher education institutions. This report seeks to understand the factors affecting non-continuation and transfers at London universities. London’s non-continuation rate is 7.7%, which is much higher than the English average of 6.3%, and students in London are the most likely to transfer to another university compared to students in the rest of the country. We seek to build on previous SMF work by focusing on why students leave university in London and the report looks in-depth at the differences in retention by ethnicity and socio-economic status. This report draws on qualitative and quantitative evidence. Interviews were conducted with 20 individuals from London who attended and withdrew from a London university and quantitative analysis of HESA data on young students in London between 2013/14 and 2015/16.

Last update: April 2013 Was added to StatsWales: April 2013 Source: Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) Contact: post16ed.stats@wales.gsi.gov.uk The information in this table is taken from Performance Indicators in Higher Education in the UK available on the HESA web-site at www.hesa.ac.uk/pi. A Guide to Performance Indicators in Higher Education is also available at this web-site. The indicators are designed to provide reliable information on the nature and performance of the higher education sector in the UK. The performance indicators broadly cover access to higher education, non-continuation rates and outcomes. Indicators relate to higher education institutions in the individual countries of the UK. The Performance Indicators Steering Group (PISG) has led the development of these indicators. Members are drawn from the four higher education funding bodies for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (HEFCE, SHEFC, HEFCW, DEL); the Department for Education and Skills and other government departments, the Higher Education Statistics Agency, and universities and colleges through their representative bodies (Universities UK and SCOP) Since 2002/03 HESA has published the Performance Indicators on behalf of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) who published them previously. A number of changes were introduced for the 2002/03 publication; further details can be found at www.hesa.ac.uk/pi . The access indicators relate to students starting in 2004/05; the indicators of non-continuation (students who do not continue after their first year) and of non-completion (students who drop out and do not resume later or transfer elsewhere) relate to the cohort starting in 2003/04. The disability indicator covers all students, not just entrants, on undergraduate programmes in 2004/05. WIDENING ACCESS: PERCENTAGE OF YOUNG FIRST DEGREE ENTRANTS FROM STATE SCHOOLS OR COLLEGES. School type is taken from previous institution attended. All schools or colleges that are not denoted ‘independent’ are assumed to be state schools. This means that students from sixth-form or further education colleges, for example, are included as being from state schools.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collect data on students, staff and resources of higher education institutions (HEIs) in the UK. Further information about HESA and their data collections, including some online tables, can be found on their website www.hesa.ac.uk Rounding strategy The presentation of figures in this table follows the principals of the HESA rounding strategy. The strategy is intended to prevent the disclosure of personal information about any individual. This strategy involves rounding all numbers to the nearest 5. A summary of this strategy is as follows: • Numbers less than 2.5 are rounded to 0. • All other numbers are rounded to the nearest 5 Total figures are also subject to this rounding methodology; the consequence of which is that the sum of numbers in each row or column may not match the total shown precisely.

1. This table contains data on Further Education, Community Learning and Work-based Learning (WBL) provision in Wales from Welsh Government funded providers. FEI and CL data are included from 2003/04 but information on provision by other work-based learning providers is included from 2004/05. Data are taken from the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR), which is now the sole data collection method from Further Education, Community Learning and other training providers 2. This table presents information on the learning programmes of learners. 3. The LLWR is a live, event-driven database that is maintained continuously. Monthly freezes of data are taken for funding and statistical purposes. 4. Some FE institutions include subsidiary work-based learning providers. 5. Community Learning is a broad definition that can encompass, for instance, provision at FEI outreach centres, ABE and ESOL. This table only covers Local Authority community learning provision. 6. Comparisons across years should be made with caution because of differences in population definitions across time and questions should be directed to the Post-16 Education Statistics section. The WBL component of the 2003/04 figures includes WBL at FEIs but excludes WBL at other training providers whereas later years include both. FE learners at Merthyr Tydfil College are included up to 2005/06 but excluded from 2006/07 to 2011/12, following the merger of the college into the University of Glamorgan. From 2012/13 onwards, Merthyr Tydfil College is included in the data once more. Welsh for Adults enrolments (other than at the Coleg Gwent Centre) are excluded from 2007/08 onwards. The inclusion of Higher Education provision within FEIs has also changed over time, franchised HEI has been excluded historically, additionally new HEFCW funded programmes are now collected through HESA rather than LLWR data. 7. In addition to the changes across time referred to in note 6, an adjusted population has been introduced from 2006/07 onwards. This has two aspects: (a) it uses the earlier of two end date types now available on the LLWR in deriving WBL numbers; (b) it disregards learning activities with a very large gap between expected end date and actual end date. Presentation 8. Data are presented both on a full academic year basis (August to July) and as a snapshot for the week of 1st December of the academic year presented. Ages are presented as at 31 August near the start of the academic year. The all persons total includes a small number of learners not identifying as male or female. 9. Figures are rounded to the nearest 5 and therefore there may be apparent slight discrepancies between the sum of the constituent items and the total. Dimension level Age: Age as at 31 August (end of first month) of the academic year Reference date: Data are presented either as a snapshot at the week of December 1st during the academic year or as an all-year count. December 1st: Snapshot of learners/programmes/activities enrolled during the week of December 1st All: Count of learners/programmes/activities throughout the academic year Mode: Full-time, part-time or work-based learning. See item notes. Provision_provider (description: Provider type) WBL at Other Training Providers: WBL provision submitted to the LLWR by a WBL provider. Omitted from the LLWR for 2003/04 therefore not comparable over time FE at FEIs: Further Education provision at Further Education institutions. HE at FEIs: Higher Education provision at Further Education institutions. Community Learning at FEIs: Community Learning provision enrolled through an FE institution but delivered by a Local Authority ('contracted-in' provision). Community Learning at Local Authorities: Community Learning provision enrolled through a Local Authority ('maintained' or 'contracted-out' provision). WBL at FEIs: WBL provision at Further Education institutions. Provision_type (description: Type of provision) Type of learning provision (FE, HE, Community Learning or WBL). The provision type is determined at the learning programme level. Note that this is not a funding report and definitions can differ from those used for funding purposes. Further Education: Provision submitted to the LLWR by an FE provider excluding: learning programmes categorised as HE or WBL; and learning delivered by a Local Authority via a subcontracted arrangement with an FE provider. Community Learning: Provision submitted to the LLWR by a Local Authority directly or by an FE provider but where the learning is delivered by a Local Authority through a partnership, franchise or subcontracted arrangement. Higher Education: Comprises learning programmes categorised as higher education. Work-based learning: Provision defined as that submitted to the LLWR by a WBL provider; or comprising a WBL designated learning programme. WBL at OTPs omitted from the LLWR for 2003/04 therefore not comparable over time. Qualification Levels: This refers to the level of highest qualification achieved prior to the commencement of the learning programme. Data is presented in the form of NVQ Level equivalents. Disability: This is shown in the form of disabled, not disabled or not known, based on the student's own assessment. No further breakdowns of disability are provided here. Ethnicity: Ethnic origin of the learner (self-described). Programme Type: This denotes a learner's main type of learning. Where the learner is undertaking more than one type of learning within a programme (e.g. Curriculum 2000 + GCSE), the principal learning programme is counted. If entirely separate qualifications are being taken the learner's details will be recorded twice. Credit Level: Credit Level of learning activity described using the Credit and Qualification Framework for Wales (CQFW) level descriptors. Language - medium of learning provision Based on categorisation of class types. Qual type: Qualification type of the learning activity. Subject: Subject of learning activity using broad groups within the Learning Direct classification system.

This dataset provides population estimates for the local authorities in Wales, the English regions and the UK countries for the period from 1991 onwards by sex and single year of age, together with some aggregated age groups. It should be noted that for mid-2020 there are some definitional changes (particularly affecting the migration components) compared with mid-2019 population estimates data and it is advised users read the Quality and Methodology Information section on the Office for National Statistics website. For Wales, England, and Northern Ireland, the mid-2021 population estimates are the first population estimates to be based on the 2021 censuses for these countries. For Scotland, the census was moved to 2022. The mid-2022 population estimates are the first population estimates to be based on the 2022 Census for Scotland. Internal migration estimates for mid-2023 have been produced using a different method to previous years, following a change to the variables available in the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) data.

Having met the target for the previous Senedd term, the Welsh Government now has a new target to create 125,000 all-age apprenticeships. This is assessed using a more rigorous measure which takes account of early drop outs (within first 8 weeks) and transfers between apprenticeship records. This table provides quarterly data on the number of apprenticeship learning programmes started in work-based learning (WBL) in Wales. The data includes WBL that is delivered by further education institutions and also WBL delivered by other training providers. Although the target now includes degree apprenticeships, these figures are not included here. Further information on this is provided in the 'current target' tab of the dashboard. This data is sourced from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). 2024/25 data is calculated using the month 9 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales record (LLWR). This freeze was produced on the 24th April 2025. From 2016/17 onwards all data in the table is calculated using the month 5 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). This freeze is produced close to the end of the December after the academic year in question finishes. For example, the freeze containing the 2016/17 data was taken close to the end of December 2017. Prior to 2016/17 data in the table was calculated using the month 7 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). This freeze was produced close to the end of the February after the academic year in question finishes. For example, the freeze containing the 2015/16 data was taken close to the end of February 2017. Data in the table is presented on an academic year basis, which runs from 1st August - 31st July. All figures are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5. Any values greater than 0 and less than 5 have been suppressed and replaced with an asterisk (*).
