The Department expects to publish the transition rates from post-primary to higher education for years 2019 & 2020 as part of our annual Education Indicators for Ireland report which is in development and is scheduled to be published before the end of 2021.
Transition data for the year 2021 will not be available until 2022.
The last year we have published date for is 2018, from our 2020 Education Indicators for Ireland report, link and table extract below. As can be seen from the table there are no large deviations in the recent rates.
