(a) Refers to full-time students only.
(b) Data for 1993-1995 refer to courses leading to recognised qualifications only.
(c) Data prior to 1994 are not strictly comparable to more recent data due to changes in scope and collection methodology. Community education providers were included in the collection from 1995, and private providers were included from 1996.
(d) Prior to 1996, New Zealand students were counted as being overseas students.
(e) From 1993, estimates refer to recognised qualifications only.
(f) Includes persons who have a qualification where the level can not be determined.
(g) In 1999, data do not include a number of Queensland students, who were formally exempted from testing.

Data on participation rates, educational attainment and unemployment rates are at May. VET and apprentice and trainee data for 1991-1997 are at June and from 1998-2001 are at 31 December. Reading and numeracy benchmark data are at August.
