Unchanged table

Obs:

For some periods, the figures for Below upper secondary education and Upper secondary education are not directly comparable: up to 1974/75, from 1975/76 to 1994/95, and from 1995/96 onward. For Higher education up to 4 years in duration, there is a break in the time series before and after 1998/99 (see About the statistics on the page for Educational attainment of the population - SSB).
