This report looks at the pathways of recent school leavers who enter the higher education sector in Australia. It focuses on the first three years following senior secondary school. It aims to provide estimates of the proportions of entrants who change courses or leave the higher education sector before completing a course. It will also identify factors associated with course change and attrition within the higher education sector and investigate the initial education, training and labour market destinations of those who leave the higher education sector before completing a qualification.
