DfE: Hours spent building skills and employability
This research, conducted in 2017, examines the amount of time students spend on building their skills and employability in pre-16 and post-16 education.
It covers:
- qualification hours
- non qualification hours
- homework and self-study
- activities outside of education
- a typical week
Qualification hours are defined as the time that students spend in teaching and learning that counts towards their qualifications. Non-qualifications hours are organised by educational institutions and include time spent on activities that can be broadly categorised as employability, enrichment and pastoral.
