AGGREGATE DATA INSTRUCTIONS
The 2011 aggregate data request template is provided in a continuous flat-file Excel spread-sheet format. The spread-sheet includes a sheet titled "Metadata dictionary" which contains a complete listing of the 2011 data elements requested in the 2011 National ECEC collection.
NEW GEOGRAPHY STANDARD
With the implementation of the new ASGS from 1 July 2011, an additional column has been included in the data template for an ASGS geographical area (SA1 or MB) for service providers. Currently, no ECEC NMDS data element exists for the new ASGS classifications. For information to assist with the move from the ASGC to the ASGS refer to the ABS website at www.abs.gov.au/geography or email the ABS at education.statistics@abs.gov.au.
NEW DATA ELEMENTS INCLUDED IN THE ECEC NMDS
Three new data elements have been included in the aggregate ECEC NMDS for 2011, which include:
Service provider organisation:
Worker data elements:
Together with existing data elements, the new elements are described in the 'metadata dictionary' sheet within the aggregate data request template. More detailed descriptions are provided in Chapter 2, Data Element Collection Instructions, and the 2011 aggregate ECEC NMDS.
ADDITIONAL REQUESTED DATA ELEMENTS
Area of usual residence - ASGS 2011 (Statistical Area Level 1/Mesh Block) (Service provider organisation)
To align with the new geography standard, the ASGS is progressively being implemented from July 2011. The ABS requests that either SA1 or MB be provided, in addition to Collection District (CD), for Service provider organisation data. The collection of both these geography standards will allow for 2011 data to be comparable to future collections when ASGS is fully implemented.
State/territory funding indicator (Service provider organisation)
An additional Service provider organisation data element is also requested, the State/territory funding indicator, which is not currently part of the 2011 ECEC NMDS. This data element has been included to explore the capacity of data collected in the National ECEC Collection to be used as a source for Report on Government Services (RoGS) reporting. The data collected from this data element will be used for testing and comparison with data collected for the Children's Services chapter of the RoGS.
Sex (Child)
The child level data element Sex has also been requested by the ABS. While this data element is not included in the 2011 aggregate ECEC NMDS, the ABS have requested this data in order to facilitate time series comparability with URL episodes of preschool.
OTHER CHANGES TO ECEC NMDS DATA ELEMENTS
Care should be taken to ensure the correct classification codes are recorded for the Service provider organisation data elements: Management type, Service activity type and Service delivery setting, as new categories and changes to categories have occurred in the 2011 ECEC NMDS. For more information on these changes and other definitional or wording changes, see the Appendix - Overview of Changes to the ECEC NMDS.
EPISODE COUNTS
Enrolment and attendance episode counts are required to be disaggregated by Indigenous status, Age and Sex. Amalgamated counts of children by age and sex for Indigenous status codes 1 to 9 inclusive will be output as 'Total Episodes'. Ages of children must reflect a single year of age, in completed years, as at 1 July 2011. If data are collected over a 2 week (or longer) reference period, jurisdictions must derive data to a representative week. Refer to Chapter 2, Data Element Collection Instructions, for further information on the collection and reporting of aggregate data.
