The latest transition rates from post-primary to FET have been published by DoE in Education Indicators for Ireland 2022 report (page 29) www.gov.ie/en/publication/055810-education-statistics/#latest-statistical-reports .
The transition rate for year 2020 is calculated on an academic year base, which takes into account all new entrants from September 2020 up to end of August 2021. As a result, this rate is applied to year 2021 as well. As soon as final entrants data for period September 2021 – August 2022 is available the new transitions year (2021/22) will be derived and published in the next Education Indicators for Ireland report. The latest transfer rate can be seen in table below:
| Indicator Description | Unit of Measure | Level | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transition rates from post-primary to FET | Percentage | FET | 26.30% | 25.90% | 24.20% | 22.20% |
| Transition rates from post-primary to FET (DEIS schools only) | Percentage | FET | 36.90% | 35.40% | 33.40% | 28.90% |
| Transition rates from post-primary to FET (non-DEIS schools only) | Percentage | FET | 23.70% | 23.40% | 21.80% | 20.50% |
