§ Mrs. GormanTo ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will publish a list of local education authorities in England in rank order by the percentage of pupils achieving five higher grade GCSEs in the last year for which information is available, showing in each case(a) that percentage and (b) the rank order position and percentage for each of the previous four years.
§ Mr. ForthThe attached table gives details of the estimated percentage of school leavers achieving five or more GCSE/O/CSE grades A-C in rank order. The latest available data based on a 10 per cent. sample of school leavers aggregated over three years—1988–89 to 1990–91—in order to reduce sampling errors. The aggregated figures for the earlier years are also shown.

Some local education authorities provide a substantial proportion of their A level teaching in tertiary or other establishments than secondary schools. The tables do not include statistics showing results arising from such provision.
