Education and Training Statistics for the United Kingdom: 2024

Product Description

This release compiles information on education systems across the United Kingdom. Education is devolved in the UK, so each part of the United Kingdom has a separate education system.

In this release, there are sections focusing on the school system: numbers of schools, pupils and teachers, and pupil to teacher ratios (PTRs), covering the 2023/24 academic year.

This is followed by sections on further and higher education, which includes the number of providers and the number of students for the 2022/23 academic year. There is also a section on young adults (aged between 16-24) who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).

The next sections focus on students' qualifications taken in the 2022/23 academic year (although given the different qualifications systems, headline measures and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not suitable to present a direct comparative picture of pupil performance across the UK), as well as the highest qualifications held by adults (aged 19-64) in the UK as of quarter 4 2023.

Finally, there is a section showing government education expenditure in the UK to the 2023-24 financial year.
