House of Lords written question – answered at on 24 January 2005.
asked Her Majesty's Government:
How many student nurses, in each of the past five years, failed to complete their initial nurse training courses.
Information for England on the percentage of pre-registration student nurses who have left their university course is given in the following table. No data are available for 2001-02. The attrition data for the 2002-03 academic year administered by the Higher Education Statistics Agency are in the process of being analysed.
Year | Percentage withdrawn |
1996–97 | 20.38 |
1997–98 | 20.16 |
1998–99 | 18.16 |
1999–2000 | 13.44 |
2000–01 | 6.21 |
Note:
These data are based on a snapshot in time of a particular cohort(s) and therefore each year there will still be students who have yet to complete their course.
