<p>We publish analysis on English and maths attainment by students aged 16 to 18 who
did not achieve A* to C by the end of key stage 4 in an annual experimental Statistical
First Release. The latest release (relating to 2013/14) is attached and also available
online. [1]</p><p> </p><p>The next publication will provide data relating to 2014/15,
the first year of the English and maths requirement.</p><p> </p><p>The English and
maths requirement has had a positive effect on attainment. In 2015, for 17-year-olds
and over, entries in maths were up 30% while English entries rose by 23%. Last year
there were over 4,000 more passes in English by students aged 17 and over and over
7,500 more maths passes.</p><p> </p><p>We also monitor in-year management information
returns from further education institutions. In 2014/15, 97% of 16 to 19-year-olds
without GCSE A*-C English and/or maths attending an FE institution continued their
study of these subjects.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/level-1-and-2-english-and-maths-16-to-18-students-2013-to-2014"
