Obs:

In publication years 2020¿2025, the completion rate for the Education Programme for Electricity and Computer Technology has been artificially inflated, by approximately 6 percentage points as measured for publication year 2025. The error affects selected programme areas that follow a pathway consisting of three years in school followed by a two-year apprenticeship period in a training establishment. In some cases, the third year was incorrectly treated as equivalent to the fifth year in the programme areas ELDAT3--- and ELAUT3--- (see the VIGO programme area code list for details of the specific programme areas). When these records are corrected so that completion is no longer registered after three years, the result is fewer pupils completing upper secondary education within the normal duration of study; and more pupils being classified as having left without completing, because they no longer have a registered completion within their total observation period of six years (the standard follow-up period for pupils who started in vocational education programmes). Overall, for pupils who started in vocational education programmes, the error results in the completion rate being overstated by 1 percentage points for cohorts prior to the 2019 starting cohort. The impact is considered limited.
Household income is in this context devided in five equal sizes - quintiles. 1. quintile equals the 20 per cent of the households with 10th graders with the lowest income while 5. quintile is the 20 per cent with the highest income. The data has been perturbed to protect confidentiality, meaning that statistical disclosure control methods have been applied. As a result, the values contain a small degree of uncertainty.
With this suppression method cells with 0 (zero) pupils, can be a mix of real zeros and small values that would be revealing otherwise. Starting in 2023, students registered in schools other than primary schools are not included.
