Footnotes

  1. Coverage: All borrowers who receive loans through Student Finance England. For further details on eligibility, please see the Student Finance England practitioner website: https://www.practitioners.slc.co.uk/products.
  2. The outlay model only forecasts students as receiving loans up to six years after entering higher education; therefore no Plan 1 outlay is forecasted. However, there are some exceptional cases where students may still be paid a Plan 1 loan across our forecast horizon, for example, if they had suspended their studies.
  3. 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
  4. Loan cancellations as a result of a borrower reaching the end of their repayment term are recorded as being at the start of the first financial year in which they were no longer liable to make repayments.
  5. Forecasts up to 2028-29 are consistent with those elsewhere in this publication. The same methodology is used to extend the undergraduate loan forecasts and a simplified calculation is used to extend the forecasts for Postgraduate Loans and Advanced Learner Loans. Please see the Methodology document accompanying this publication for further information.
  6. Values in 2023-24 prices have been calculated using OBR forecasts for RPI.
  7. Outlay, repayments, capitalised interest, cancelled loans and outstanding balance figures have been rounded to the nearest £0.1 billion.
  8. Where you see the symbol 'z' this refers to not applicable.
  9. Where you see ‘low’ this refers to figures which round to 0, but are not 0.
