The Further Education, Work-based Learning and Community Learning in Wales, 2014/15 report, reveals a continued decline in overall learner numbers in post-16 education between 2013/14 and 2014/15 since its peak in 2005/06.

The report which presents information on enrolled learners and their activities by age, gender, mode of study, type of programme and level of study is collected through the Welsh Government’s Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). It excludes enrolments at Higher Education institutions and at school sixth forms but includes provision at Further Education (FE) institutions, Work-based Learning (WBL) providers and Local Authority Community Learning providers.
