Understanding Data How is it calculated? Retention x Achievement = Success To get retention figure: Retention = number of learners (group or cohort) completing a programme divided by number of starters e.g. : 50 starts minus 10 who left = 40 (40 ÷ 50) x 100 = 80% retention
Achievement is calculated by dividing the number of achievers by completers. Group of 40, six students fail the course this would be: (34 ÷ 40) x100 = 85% Success is therefore: (0.8 x 0.85) x 100 = 68% Understanding Data
Prevention and Intervention Key dates – Start of term and mid term breaks Case studies Regular monitoring e.g. weekly attendance reports Deployment of staff Review data trends Improving Data
