Educational Attainment of Young People by Age 19, 2006/07, 28/05/09 [W]

The latest statistics on the educational attainment of young people by age 19 produced by the Welsh Assembly Government.

The key points from the release for persons aged 19 in 2006/07 are:

96 per cent had attained the level 1 threshold, 71 per cent had level 2 and 46 per cent had level 3.
Level 2 attainment increased by 23 percentage points between ages 15 and 19. Level 3 attainment increased by 10 percentage points between ages 17 and 19.
Level 1 and 2 attainment at each age from 15 to 18 was generally higher for subsequent cohorts.
The proportion of females achieving each level was higher than for males at all ages, although the size of this gap decreased as age increased.
Most of level 1 and 2 attainment by age 15 was through academic qualifications, while for post-16 it was vocational. Most of level 3 attainment by age 19 was through level 3 general qualifications.
Generally for all levels, post-16 attainment through vocational routes was slightly higher for males than for females.

The full release is available on the Statistics for Wales website.
