FOI REF: FOI/2023/4914
You asked
I am trying to find out how many asylum seekers and refugees are currently accessing Further Education (FE) in the UK. I have been able to find a similar figure for English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners in schools but nothing for FE. Can you provide this information or indicate where I might be able to access it?
We said
