I propose to take Questions Nos. 816 to 821, inclusive, together.

The following table shows the proportion of 1st year full-time level 8 Honours Bachelor Degree new entrants to higher education in the 7 universities that did not progress from 1st year in the academic year 2012/13 to 2nd year in the academic year 2013/14. Three institutions are above the university average of 11% non-progression. The rates of non-progression vary by discipline. The average non-progression rate across the university sector has remained at 11% over the last few years.
