The 2010 Schools, Australia includes published tables on the numbers and types of enrolment (whether full-time, part-time, or full-time equivalents) of Indigenous students. The publication also examines issues affecting the collection of data on the Indigenous status of students, differences in numbers of ‘not stated’ records and the differences between the methods of collecting data between states and territories, which can lead to data that is difficult to compare across jurisdictions.
