HC Deb 06 July 1976 vol 914 c477W
54. Mr. Michael Clark Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what percentage of sixth form pupils are now studying at sixth form colleges.

Miss Margaret Jackson

In January 1975 some 10 per cent. of all pupils on courses at or beyond GCE A level in maintained schools were studying at sixth form colleges. At the same time some 9 per cent. of all pupils over school leaving age in maintained secondary schools —i.e., new as well as traditional sixth formers—were studying at sixth form colleges.
