This data is released under the terms of the  Open Government License (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/) and is intended to meet at least three stars for  Open Data (https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/improving-the-transparency-and-accountability-of-government-and-its-services/supporting-pages/releasing-data-in-open-formats).

The underlying data files include national participation estimates for 16-18 year olds in England and are broken down by (academic) age, gender, institution type, whether full-time (FT) or part-time (PT), and by highest study aim.

File formats and conventions

The underlying data files contain unrounded figures as estimated from the administrative and survey data as outlined in the accompanying technical documentation.

No suppression has been applied, as the data is not considered sensitive and no additional characteristic or geography variables are included to enable individuals to be accurately identified.
