| Note
1: This information was obtained from columns (1) and (2) of table 48. These data are
based on enrolment figures for the school year 2001-2002. (table) |
| Note
2: This information was obatined from columns (2) and (5) of table 45. These data are
based on labor market data obtained in April 2004. (table) |
| Note
3: The data contained in this column are obtained by multiplying
the
data in columns (2) and (4). Although these data are
collected for different years, the
amount of change from year to year is likely minimal as large changes
either in the economy or enrolment have not occurred between 2001 and
2004; moreover, part of the calculation is based on presumed rather
than measured data. Please see note 3
and elsewhere in table 48 for additional discussion. (table) |
| Note 4: This value is obtained by dividing the
total in column (2) by the total in column (1). Please see note 3 and
elsewhere in
table 48 for further discussion. (table) |
| Note
5: This value is obtained by subtracting the values for
primary forms I, II, and III from the total of column (2) and then
dividing the remainder by the total found in column (1). Please see note 7 and elsewhere in
table 48 for further discussion. (table) |
