This Statistical First Release updates key statistics on the level of highest qualification held by people of working age in England, published on 24 February 2005. Attainment figures are broken down by gender, age, geography, ethnicity, disability and economic activity. It also contains statistics on specific subsets of the population used to measure progress towards post-16 attainment targets within the Department and Learning and Skills Council.
The figures are calculated from the Autumn 2005 Labour Force Survey (carried out by the Office for National Statistics) using the detailed information collected about qualifications gained by individuals.
