Looking at government data showing the level of educational attainment for EU nationals working in the UK during the past year or so, it appears to be true that there has been a slight fall in the proportion with HE level qualifications (i.e. predominantly those with degrees) – down from 49% in Q1.16 to 46% in Q4.17 – but, there was also a slight rise in the proportion holding ‘other qualifications’ which could include some that have higher level awards from overseas institutions/awarding bodies.
