answer text <p>Since January 2019, Britannia Royal Naval College have asked cadets, on a voluntary basis, whether they went to a state or an independent school prior to joining the Royal Navy. Figures provided are based on a question asked at cadet joining interviews. Cadets are under no obligation to answer the question so the figures do not reflect 100% of the intake. The figures for January and May 2019 intake are:</p><p> </p><p>State School 160*</p><p>Private School 40*</p><p>Served in Ranks First 30*</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>*Notes:</p><p>1. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10 in line with disclosure control policy. Figures ending in 5 are rounded to the nearest 20 to avoid bias.</p><p> </p><p>2. Figures are a single service estimate provided by Britannia Royal Naval College. As such they have not been validated, are not official statistics produced by Defence Statistics and will differ from total Officer intake published in the Quarterly Service Personnel Statistics.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence has delivered a 35% reduction in our civilian workforce since 2010, and remains committed to improving its efficiency while delivering the capabilities our Armed Forces need. As part of our new approach to transformation, we are re-examining how to utilise the talents of our entire workforce more effectively. This will have implications for the size and shape of our future workforce, which we will work through in detail. The outcomes of that work will supersede the civilian workforce assumptions made in Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015.</p> more like this
