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 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 youth on school vacation were treated as not attending school.
