Red cells indicate a decline in enrolments from the previous year while green indicates an<br />
increase.<br />
The data shows that the number of 17-18 year olds in the system is in decline. Overall the<br />
number declined by 9% between 2005/2006 <strong>and</strong> 2006/2007 <strong>and</strong> the proportion of 17-18<br />
year olds of full-time enrolments declined from 17.6% to 15.5% in the same time period<br />
The number of 22-30+ students increased however by 5%. This may in part be due to the<br />
increasing numbers studying at postgraduate level<br />
