EXPLANATORY NOTE ON THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDCLASSIFICATION OF EDUCATION

In order to facilitate international use of this publication, data on student enrolment are provided according to ISCED97 (TheInternational Standard Classification of Education) as well as by traditional national categories. ISCED was designed by the UnitedNations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in the early 1970s to serve as an instrument suitable forassembling, compiling and presenting statistics of education within individual countries and internationally. It has also beenaccepted by EUROSTAT (Statistical Office of the European Union) and the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-Operation andDevelopment). ISCED was revised in 1997 and the following represents the new categorisations decided upon under ISCED97.

There are seven levels in ISCED, coded as follows:

ISCED 0 (Pre-Primary) Education

TOTAL 2,153 2,183 13,675 18,011

NOTE:

The sex category of a school is defined according to data on enrolment of boys and girls in a school and not according to theofficial designation of the school.

Mixed schools are defined as schools which enrol boys and girls with the exception of schools which enrol both boys and girls inclasses below third standard but enrol only boys or else only girls above second standard. For example, a school which enrols 400boys and 1 girl is classified as a mixed school provided that the girl is not enrolled in second standard or below.

Single sex schools are schools which enrol boys only or else enrol girls only in all standards including infant grade years.

Single sex schools with mixed junior standards are schools which enrol only boys or else only girls in third standard or highergrade but which enrol both girls and boys in some or all grades up to second standard. For the purposes of this table, juniorstandards are defined to include all grade years from junior infants up to and including second standard. A school enrolling 300girls and 1 boy is classified as a single single sex school with mixed junior standards, if the boy is enrolled in second standard orbelow. It should be noted that in the vast majority of single sex schools with mixed junior standards, the enrolment of both boysand girls does not occur after first standard.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE ON TABLES IN SECTION 4

The sex category of a school for a particular programme (Junior Certificate or Leaving

Certificate) is determined by the de-facto enrolment in the school for this programme.

So, for example, a school enrolling 250 girls and one boy in the Junior Certificate

programme is classified as a mixed school at Junior Certificate. However, if the same

school enrolled all girls and no boys in the Leaving Certificate programme, the school

would be classified as single-sex for the Leaving Certificate programme.

The tables in this section are based on returns showing the number of subjects being

taken by each pupil in the school. Hence a school which offers a subject but whose

pupils do not take up that offer is not included under that subject. A mixed school which

offers a subject to both sexes, but in which no boy decides to take the subject is

therefore classified as a school which provides the subject to girls only.

Caution should be exercised in comparing data in the subject tables with corresponding

data in statistical reports prior to 1991/92. This applies in particular to the tables which

contain data concerning the number of schools providing the various subjects on the

Leaving Certificate programme. The increase in the number of schools providing

subjects such as Agricultural Science, Agricultural Economics and Economic History

to Leaving Certificate may be partially due to the increase in the number of Second

Level Schools involved in co-operation arrangements. A Second Level School which is

not in a position to offer a particular subject to pupils in the school may enter into a co-

operation arrangement with a neighbouring school where the subject is provided. Under

this arrangement, pupils travel from one school to the other in order to study the subject

in question while remaining on the rolls of their parent school.

Subject data are derived from the Annual Pupil Database Return which is completed by

each Second Level School. For technical reasons relating to the manner in which data

are stored and processed on the Pupil Database, both schools involved in a co-operation

arrangement are classified as schools providing the subject in question. The Pupil

Database Return also serves as the official application for enrty to the certificate

examinations. In order to provide a complete exam entry, a number of schools returned

data in respect of pupils who were studying subjects privately outside the regular school

system.

NOTE

Junior Certificate candidates exclude students taking ab-initio subjects. VTOS candidates are examination candidates sitting theexamination as participants in the Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme. These may be either school candidates who studiedin a second level school, or they may be candidates who have studied in special centres outside a second level school.

Leaving Certificate external candidates comprise candidates who have studied outside the second level school system. Theseexclude VTOS students. In some cases, external candidates have only sat one or two subjects in the Leaving Certificate.

The total of Leaving Certificate school candidates in line 6 excludes VTOS candidates. It is not possible to disaggregate the total ofVTOS candidates shown in line 9 between school candidates and other types of candidates.

Since 1975, each candidate in the Leaving Certificate or Junior Certificate (Intermediate Certificate prior to 1992) has been awardeda Certificate showing the grades obtained without any overall result corresponding to failure, pass or honours.

In 2004, there were 4,658 public examination centres to which 4,663 superintendents were appointed. There were 6,647 examinersfor all Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate examinations, of which 1,031 corrected practical and project work at both LeavingCertificate and Junior Certificate and 1,604 were Oral Examiners and Oral Appeal Examiners in the Leaving CertificateExamination.
