I emailed the list in February about institutions' possible interest in
obtaining information about what happens to students who fail to complete
their Degrees with the institution, from the HEFCE PI work on "fuzzy
matching" techniques to derive overall progression rates for undergraduate
students using the HESA individualised student record.
Members of the list may have noticed that the HEFCE recent "consultation on
performance indicators" (00/18) includes in Annex A paragraph 40 a
description of a file of data "1997TLShhhh.CSV" which "summarises the flows
of selected students between your institution and other institutions..."
HEFCE have asked me to draw the attention of list members specifically to
this file, and to remind members that the consultation asks for responses by
31 May. HEFCE would be glad to know what potential use institutions might
make of the data provided in this file.
Best wishes
David Young
