Definition
Metadata for IAC0422 covering tables released for calendar years 2014 to 2015. Each related table contains data for a specific calendar year.
- The Ministerial Council for Education, Early Childhood Development (MCEECDYA) remoteness categories are used for these tables. This divides schools into four categories.
- 'SA4 grouping’ and ‘remoteness’ describe areas within NSW. Both are ABS standard categories. SA4 group relates to a predefined geographical area, based on population and labour markets, whereas remoteness is based on density of population.
- Since 2014, the department has used a geographical structure based on the new ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). Groups of ASGS Statistical Area 4 (SA4) boundaries in NSW have been combined into 11 groups for reporting and publication of department data. Previous publications compared enrolments in DEC regions. Further information on SA4 groups is available in the Statistical Bulletin Explanatory Notes.
