This information is used by the Scottish Executive (Scottish Government) in projections and planning for the sector and analysis of trends in the take-up of higher education. Knowing the year left last institution helps with the matching of students to their previous study details at another institution. Information about articulating students is required by the Scottish Executive (Scottish Government) who wish to compare educational outcomes for those students moving without a gap into a course at an HEI and those who have left a gap of a year or more. |
