Follow up destinations of school leavers 2007-08: statistics published

Scotland's Chief Statistician today published statistics on the follow-up destinations of young people who left school in 2007-08.

This release is the second time that this information has been published and provides information on young people's status in March/April 2009, approximately nine months after leaving school.

The publication also provides information on the change in status of these young people since information was published on them in the 'Destinations of Leavers from Scottish Schools: 2007/08' publication on 11 December 2008.

The information in this publication is the basis for the Scottish Government's national indicator on positive and sustained destinations for leavers from Scottish publicly funded schools.
