Remarks LFS began collecting data on school attendance for ages 5-24 years in April 2005 survey round. However, 2005 annual data on school attendance was not computed because of unusually large figures for April. As it was the first time that the query was asked, there was a problem on interpretation. Those children on school vacation were treated as not attending school.
The Department of Education collects administrative data on school enrolment for primary and secondary education with age group breakdown 6-11 and 12-15 (official school-age population), respectively.
