Rise in Welsh Adults with Skills

An article on Wales Online explains that the proportion of working age adults in Wales without qualifications has fallen by nearly a third since 2001.

Figures released by the Welsh Assembly Government show that just 14.9% of people reported having absolutely no educational qualifications in 2007, which is down from 21.5% in 2001.

In Monmouthshire just 8.2% of working age adults remain without qualifications, while in Merthyr Tydfil the figure is as high as 21.4%, or more than one in five. Looking at the English regions, only the West Midlands has a higher proportion of its adults without qualifications, at 16.6%.

The steady improvement in Wales is reflected at every different skill level. The proportion qualified to National Qualification Framework (NQF) Level 2 or above – defined as five GCSEs at grade A*-C, NVQ Level 2 or equivalent – has risen from 60.4% in 2001 to 68.5% in 2007.

Those achieving NVQ Level 3, has risen from 39.5% to 47.1%, while those reaching degree or diploma level have risen from 22.1% to 27.3%.
