PublishingPageContent

The Next Step post-school destination surveys identify the study, work or other point-in-time destinations of school leavers after completing or leaving all government, Catholic or independent schools in Queensland.

Longitudinal studies track the pathways of specific groups of school leavers over several years.

Year 12 Completers survey

This annual survey includes all students who complete Year 12 during the previous year.

The latest longitudinal study follows (through to 2018) a sample of young people who completed Year 12 in 2010. A previous longitudinal study of Year 12 completers from 2005 was completed in 2013.

Early School Leavers survey

This annual survey includes all students who left school in Years 10, 11 or before completing Year 12 during the previous year.

A longitudinal study of early school leavers who left school before completing Year 12 in 2010 was completed in 2014.
