Footnotes
- Coverage: Borrowers who received loans as English domiciled students studying in the UK or as EU domiciled students studying in England.
- Figures have been rounded to the nearest 1,000 borrowers.
- Where you see the symbol 'z' this refers to not applicable.
- Where you see ‘low’ this refers to figures which round to 0, but are not 0.
- Where you see the symbol 'x' this refers to not available.
- Borrowers receiving both fee and maintenance loans for their course are included in both totals.
- The 2019/20 and 2020/21 figures are provisional figures based on DfE analysis of SLC data, apart from Plan 3 figures. Plan 3 actuals are taken from SLC publication ‘Student support for higher education in England 2022’. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/student-support-for-higher-education-in-england-2022
- The outlay model only forecasts students as receiving loans up to six years after they entered higher education; therefore no Plan 1 outlay is forecasted in financial year 2023-24 onwards. However, there are some exceptional cases where students may still be paid a Plan 1 loan later than this, for example, if they had suspended their studies.
- A summary timeline of introduction of different plan types is available in table 1.1 in the Methodology. https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/methodology/student-loan-forecasts-for-england-methodology
