Question

To ask the Scottish Government what percentage of pupils in the Clackmannanshire local authority secured a positive destination on leaving school in each year since 2007.


Answer

The percentage of pupils in Clackmannanshire local authority who secured a positive follow-up destination on leaving school is available on a consistent basis for 2009-10 to 2018-19 in table L2.1 of the Summary Statistics for Follow-up leaver Destinations publication: Summary Statistics for Follow-up leaver Destinations, No. 2: 2020 Edition - gov.scot (www.gov.scot) . The figures relate to the destinations of school leavers from publicly funded schools 9 months after the end of the relevant school year.

For 2009-10 onwards positive destinations are: Further Education, Higher Education, Employment, Training, Voluntary Work, Personal Skills Development and Activity Agreements.

Figures for 2007-08 and 2008/09 are available in archived publications but were produced using a different methodology and so are not directly comparable to those provided for 2009/10 onwards. For example, for these years school leavers undertaking Personal Skills Development activity could be recorded either as being in a positive destination or in an other destination depending on the details of the activity being undertaken.
