Information is collected on whether respondent is day or boarding student, how long a boarder at this and earlier schools, payment of fees (who pays and whether any difficulty experienced in making payments), which schools attended in past, and reasons for choice of present secondary school (by selection of one from list of nine, including proximity, finances, religion, ease of entry, teaching staff or school's reputation). Assessed parental and respondent attitude to education generally, and to secondary education are given. Major substantive portion of survey concerns respondent attitudes to his future: ideal choice of occupation with reasons; whether it is financially and scholastically possible for him to continue to sixth-form; his view on advantages and disadvantages of sixth-form education. Preferred subjects, job expected if education continued, job expected if education not continued, and ideal school for sixth-form education. In a follow-up questionnaire sent out one year later, examination results (independently verified) were ascertained and the educational and occupational activity of respondent since sitting for examination is outlined. Jobs held since leaving school, salary received, length of time spent looking for a job, source of finance while looking and where presently living are all listed.
