Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
This table presents information on the number of approved applications for Education Maintenance Allowances (EMAs) from students living in Wales.
The EMA Wales scheme is available to 16 - 18 year olds (and 19 - 20 year olds in certain circumstances). The scheme is designed as an incentive for students from lower-income families to remain in full-time education after the age at which compulsory schooling ends. The EMA is a weekly allowance, paid fortnightly to students.
EMAs were introduced for 16 year olds in the 2004/05 academic year with the scheme extended to 17 year olds in 2005/06 and 18 year olds in 2006/07 (19 and 20 year olds are also eligible in certain circumstances and therefore would be included in figures from 2007/08 onwards).
EMA award amounts were initially £10, £20 or £30 per week (depending on household income). From 2011/12 EMA awards became £30 per week and from 17 April 2023 EMA increased to £40 per week.
Other learning centres consist of special schools, grammar schools and independent schools.
