About the data
- Adult (19+) further education and skills include apprenticeships, community learning, and education and training for people in this age group:
- The evidence hub includes a dedicated page with analysis of apprenticeship starts and achievements
- Adult education and training includes classroom, distance and e-learning, traineeships and learning funded by advanced learner loans
- Community learning includes a range of non-formal courses to promote civic engagement and community development.
Participation
- In 2022/23 there were almost 77,000 adult (19+) learners participating in further education and skills courses in the North East:
- The total was 8.9% higher than in 2021/22 but 2.2% lower than in 2019/20
- there were just over 45,800 learners particpating in adult education and training
- this total was 9.4% higher than in 2021/22 but 1.0% below the 2019/20 total
- about 23,900 participated in apprenticeships, with just over 11,300 in community learning
- these totals were, respectively, 2.5% and 18.0% higher than a year earlier and 1.6% higher and 11.9% lower than in 2019/20.
Age groups
- In 2022/23 about 74% of North East adult further education and skills participants and 76% of achievers were aged 25 and over:
- The number of participants from the older age group was 9.6% higher than a year earlier, with the number in the younger age group about 6.8% higher
- between 2019/20 and 2022/23, the number of North East participants aged 19-24 decreased by 4.6%, with the number aged 25 and over decreasing by 1.4%.
Geographical comparisons
- Population-based rates are used to compare participation and achievements in different sized areas. For adult (19+) further educations, the rates are calculated by dividing totals in an area by the resident population aged 19 to 64:
- In 2022/23, the number of North East further education and skills participants was equivalent to over 6,600 per 100,000 residents
- the rate of North East achievements in the same year was almost 4,700 per 100,000 residents
- both rates were higher than those of England: by 23% and 31% respectively
- the North East rates have both been higher than England's in each of the last six academic years
- within the North East, both the participation rate and the achievements rate were highest in South Tyneside
- the two rates were both higher than the England equivalent in six of the seven local authority areas, with Northumberland being the exception.

About the data: This statistical release presents information on adult (19+) further education (FE) and skills participation in England for the full 2022/23 academic year (Aug 2022 to Jul 2023). It is based on data returned by providers in October 2023.
Adult FE and skills includes apprenticeships and community learning within this age group, as well as adult education and training.
Total participation is the count of learners that participated at any point during the stated academic period. Learners participating in more than one type of FE learning are only counted once in the overall total, which is therefore lower than the combined total of the three learning types.

About the data: This statistical release presents information on adult (19+) further education (FE) and skills participation in England for the full 2022/23 academic year (Aug 2022 to Jul 2023). It is based on data returned by providers in October 2023. Adult FE and skills includes apprenticeships and community learning within this age group, as well as adult education and training.
Total participation is the count of learners that participated at any point during the stated academic period. Learners participating in more than one type of FE learning are only counted once in the overall total, which is therefore lower than the combined total of the three learning types.
Geography: North East LEP area (Mayoral Combined Authority area from May 2024). Based on the location of the learner.
