Ofqual has updated its interactive map ahead of this year’s results days, giving students, policymakers and the public a more detailed regional picture of qualification outcomes across England.
It is the first time qualification results and uptake by subject at local authority level will be published on results days and comes as local leaders are handed greater control over decisions which shape their areas, News Cover reports, citing the UK government's official website.
The Ofqual Analytics platform now lets users explore results broken down by local authority district, administrative county or unitary authority, and administrative region.
The update was made in response to user feedback requesting more detailed and geographically accurate data and reflects the growing importance of local and regional data as decision-making is devolved closer to communities. Previously, the map showed ceremonial counties with limited regional information.
The map shows the percentage of students achieving particular grades for each subject across different areas of England. It also shows subject uptake - how many students took each subject in a given area.
Thousands of people explore Ofqual’s Analytics webpages each results week. The platform covers GCSEs, A Levels, T Level Technical Qualifications and Performance Table Qualifications.
