The 2023/24 enrolment trends in post-16 education and skills have been revealed in a survey by the Association of Colleges.
The annual survey provides an insight into enrolment of students onto T levels, apprenticeships, adult education courses and GCSE English and maths courses in the 2023/24 academic year, as well as overall numbers of students taking courses in colleges.
A total of 95 colleges responded to the survey, which represents just less than half of the colleges in England.
The vast majority (81%) were general further education or tertiary colleges, while 7% each were sixth form and specialist colleges.
