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. Financial year 2023-24 outlay figures are actuals as published by the Student Loans Company (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/student-loans-in-england-2023-to-2024">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/student-loans-in-england-2023-to-2024</a>) with the exception of Advanced Learner Loans Plan 2 and Plan 5 outlay.
  4. A summary timeline of introduction of different plan types is available in Table 1.1 in the Methodology: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/methodology/student-loan-forecasts-for-england-methodology">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/methodology/student-loan-forecasts-for-england-methodology</a>
  5. Outlay figures have been rounded to the nearest £5 million.
  6. Where you see the symbol 'z' this refers to not applicable.
