HC Deb 27 October 1986 vol 103 cc1-2W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report the percentage of pupils with five or more 0-levels or 0-level equivalent remaining in full-time education in each local education authority and in England as a whole.

Mr. Dunn

Information is not available in the form requested. The proportions of maintained school leavers in England with five or more higher grades at 0-level/CSE who had either stayed on at school or who had left at the minimum school leaving age, intending to continue full-time education elsewhere, are shown in the table. The percentages do not include those pupils who left school without five or more higher grade 0-level/CSE passes and subsequently achieved this level of qualification in full-time education or otherwise but do include those who achieved this level of qualification at least in part in the sixth form.
