Source: ABS Survey of Education and Work. PARTICIPATION IN EDUCATION OF PERSONS AGED 15–24 Data for 1994 and1995 refer to courses leading to recognised qualifications only. Source: ABS Survey of Education and Work. STATISTICAL NOTES Educational institution This is any institution with a primary role of education. Included are schools, higher education establishments, colleges of technical and further education, public and private colleges. Excluded are institutions whose primary role is not education, for example, hospitals. Higher education student A higher education student is a person who was enrolled (either full-time, part-time or externally) in a higher education institution in the survey month. Data for the proportion of 15–24 year olds attending higher education refers to persons aged 15–24 years enrolled at higher education institutions as a percentage of the civilian population in the same age group. Participation in education The education participation rate for any group, is the number of persons participating in education expressed as a percentage of the civilian population in the same group.

STATISTICAL NOTES International Standard Classification of Education The International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) was developed by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to facilitate comparisons of education statistics and indicators within and between countries. It was originally endorsed at the General Conference of UNESCO in 1978. The current version (ISCED 1997) was officially adopted in November 1997. The 1997 International Standard Classification of Education ( ISCED-97) introduced a mult-dimensional classification framework, allowing for the alignment of the educational content of programmes from different countries using multiple classification criteria. These dimensions include the type of subsequent education or destination to which the programme leads, the programme orientation (whether it be general or pre-vocational education, or vocational education) and the programme duration. For detailed notes see the OECD publication Classifying Educational Programmes, Manual for ISCED 97 Implementation in OECD countries, Edition 1999. The ABS has designed ASCED to be as consistent with ISCED as possible. However, the needs of users and producers of statistics on education in Australia, and other factors unique to the Australian education system, have meant that total consistency has not been possible. Like ASCED, ISCED has separate dimensions of Level of Education and Field of Education. Correspondence tables providing comprehensive information on the relationship between ASCED and ISCED 1997 are available on the ABS Website; ABS Australian Standard Classification of Education (ABS cat. no. 1272.0) For more international comparisons see OECD Education at a glance: indicator tables at http://www.oecd.org.
