Progression
Examining the progression of students is imperative for delivering an evidence base on the challenges and barriers to progression. Enriching understanding of the challenges and barriers faced informs strategic dialogue with higher education institutions, and moreover, informs decisions to improve the student experience. In the below analyses, a student is classified as having progressed if they are present in the following academic year in the same institute.
