Further Education
The further education includes study after secondary education which is not part of higher education. It includes 3 types of technical and applied qualifications. For clarity on data collection, please navigate to DFE Website.
The dashboard presents students participating and completing further education with various subject and basic skills.
An understanding of the subject sector areas students are entering into in FE at a local authority level can be used to forward project the subject areas that a local area will have a specific strength in with regards to volume of people and any areas that may be under represented. This can be helpful for future workforce or study planning.
