‘Tech’ had 2ndlowest success

Less than three quarters of those who started a course at the North West Regional College (NWRC) gained full or partial achievement last year, the Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry stated.

The 72 per cent success rate was the worst in Northern Ireland after Belfast and the Northern Regional College, which both had a 71 per cent success rate.

Dr Farry stated: “Success rates...are calculated as the proportion of final year enrolments who started their courses and gained full or partial achievement.”

The best rate was at the Southern (81 per cent), followed by the South West (76 per cent) and the South Eastern (75 per cent).
