POST-16 EDUCATION: OUTCOMES FOR DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS
A new research report released in November 2018 compares students’ level of education and qualification route to their employment and earnings in later life.
It includes information on:
- personal characteristics such as age, gender, disadvantage
- level of education including GCSE attainment and highest level qualification by age 25
- employment and earnings in the 2016 to 2017 tax year
It looks at a group of people who took their GCSEs in 2005. For this research, we define disadvantage as being eligibility for free school meals at any point between ages 11 and 15.
Research on post-16 education: highest level of achievement by age 25 is also available.
