to the nearest 100; percentages are calculated on pre-rounded data.</p><p> </p><p>2)
Age is reported as at 31 August of the academic year and is based upon self-declaration
by the learner.</p><p> </p><p>3) The data source for this table is the Individualised
Learner Record.</p><p> </p><p>4) Figures for 2011/12 onwards are not directly comparable
to earlier years as a Single Individualised Learner Record (ILR) data collection system
has been introduced. Small technical changes have been made in the way learners from
more than one provision type are counted, leading to a removal of duplicate learners
and a reduction in overall learner numbers of approximately 2 per cent.</p><p> </p>
