Abstract
Department for Education commissioned the Institute for Employment Research at Warwick University to undertake a review of relevant literature and evidence into choices that students make between different post-18 vocational, academic and technical, and whether these choices are effective and reliably informed.
There were four main research question areas:
• How are choices made between HE, FE and apprenticeship routes?
• How are choices made within these three routes?
• What role does finance, and information about finance, play?
• How are choices made by mature students?
The review included:
• A focused literature search of academic articles yielding 184 sources of which 143 were reviewed;
• A ‘grey’ literature review of non-academic published sources identified through a general web search, and targeted searches of 82 websites. 43 websites generated literature of relevance to the study and 85 documents were included in the review.
The ‘grey’ literature review produced the most relevant sources used in this report.
