In December 2021 we released – as an ad hoc experimental official statistic – a summary of some additional contextual information collected within the TRAC return for 2019-20. This is to aid the interpretation of the TRAC data for 2019-20 and to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operations of higher education providers in the period from March to July 2020.
