Progression rates from alternative education almost the same as mainstream schooling

A study that was carried out in NUI Galway revealed that success in alternative education is comparable to mainstream schooling.

A new study has found that the majority of students in seven alternative education programmes for learners outside the mainstream system had significant success in progressing their education. 

Across a three-year period, the average progression rates of students amounted to 80% between January 2018 to July 2020, reaching in excess of 90% for some projects.
