The information that the deputy seeks is not available. I attach a spreadsheet which shows the number of 16 and 17 year olds in full time education. I also include a link to a Department of Education and Skills Report on Early Leavers from Post-Primary schools –pupils enrolled in 2009/2010 and not in 2010/2011.
