Pupil-population Ratios

HC Deb 17 July 1995 vol 263 cc978-80W

Mrs. Ann Winterton

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will list in descending order the number of pupils as a percentage of the resident population in each local education authority area on the most recent date when such numbers were estimated; and what consideration is given to such actual pupil-population ratios in the calculation of education standard spending assessments. [34485]

Mr. Robin Squire

[holding answer 14 July 1995]: The table compares the number of pupils aged five to 15 at August 1993 living in their area for whom local education authorities were financially responsible with their overall population aged five to 15 at June 1993. Precise ratios are difficult to calculate because the pupil and population data are estimated on different dates.
