The latest transition rates from post-primary to FET have been published by DoE in Education Indicators for Ireland 2022 report (page 29) www.gov.ie/en/publication/055810-education-statistics/#latest-statistical-reports .
The transition rate for year 2020 is calculated on an academic year base, which takes into account all new entrants from September 2020 up to end of August 2021. As a result, this rate is applied to year 2021 as well. As soon as final entrants data for period September 2021 – August 2022 is available the new transitions year (2021/22) will be derived and published in the next Education Indicators for Ireland report. The latest transfer rate can be seen in table below:
