§ Mr. Alexanderasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many school leavers in 1981 with two A-levels in subjects other than the arts and sciences failed to obtain a place in an institution of higher education.
§ Dr. BoysonThere is no information on the number of English school leavers in 1980–81 who applied for a place on a higher education course. The number of leavers with two or more A-level passes in social science subjects only was 3,600. Of these 1,500 entered degree courses or teacher training courses and 590 entered other further education courses some of which would have been higher education courses.
