Question
To ask the Scottish Government what percentage of pupils in the Stirling Council area left school having achieved one or more Highers in each year since 2007.
Answer
The percentage of pupils in the Stirling Council area leaving school having achieved one or more pass in National Qualifications at SCQF Level 6 or better is available on a consistent basis for 2009-10 to 2018-19 in table A2.2 of the Summary Statistics for Attainment and Initial Leaver Destinations publication: Summary Statistics for Attainment and Initial Leaver Destinations, No. 2: 2020 Edition - gov.scot (www.gov.scot). The figures relate to school leavers from publicly funded schools.
Figures for years prior to this are available in archived publications but were produced using a different methodology and so are not directly comparable to those for 2009-10 onwards.
