Education Maintenance Allowances Awarded in Wales - Update at end of September and October 2010 - Cancelled

The headlines initially due to be published on 13 October 2010 and 10 November 2010 have been cancelled.

This is due to a change in the Student Loans Company’s (SLC) procedure for renewing applications for existing students who received an Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) during the academic year 2009/10.

This change means that the data will not be of sufficient quality to be released, as it will include students who are not confirmed as attending FE or school this year and will not be comparable with previous years’ data. SLC will remove those students who have not signed a Learning Agreement from the “Approved” category in November. It will not therefore be possible to accurately report the number of students receiving an EMA in 2010/11 until this time.
