The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation user guide explains how to access and use the online maps.

The purpose of this domain is to capture the extent of deprivation relating to education, training and skills. It is designed to reflect educational disadvantage within an area in terms of lack of qualifications and skills. The indicators capture low attainment among children and young people and the lack of qualifications in adults.

The indicators are:

  • Key Stage 4 average points score for core subjects.
  • Persistent absenteeism rate (per 100) primary.
  • Persistent absenteeism rate (per 100) secondary.
  • Percentage of Key Stage 4 leavers entering higher education.
  • Percentage of adults aged 25 to 64 with no or low qualifications.

There is more guidance and technical information available on WIMD alongside the results.
