  • Changed title to Full-time enrolments in distance education by year of schooling (2011-2018) (previously Full-time enrolments in distance education by year of schooling (2011-2017))


  • Updated description of Full-time enrolments in distance education by year of schooling (2011-2018) from

    Since 1993 some students have enrolled part-time and all enrolments are reported in full-time equivalent units (FTEs) and include full-time and part-time students. **Data Notes:** * Enrolments (FTE) in distance education are recorded mid-year. * All enrolments are reported in full-time equivalent units (FTE), and include full-time and part-time students whose main school is the distance education centre. * The FTE for students studying less than 10 units, the minimum workload, is determined by the formula: 0.1 x the number of units studied and represented as a proportion of the full-time enrolment of 1.0 FTE. * Distance education centres (DECs) provide schooling for students who are isolated or whose special circumstances prevent them from attending a regular school. They operate either as separate schools or as units within regular primary, central and high schools. Students enrolled in DECs are counted in their corresponding years of schooling. In conjunction with the Open High School, DECs also provide individual subject enrolment, widening study opportunities for secondary students. These students are enrolled and counted at their home schools. **Data Source:** * [Schools and Students: 2017 Statistical Bulletin](https://www.cese.nsw.gov.au//images/stories/PDF/2017-statistical-bulletin-AA.pdf"Schools and Students: 2017 Statistical Bulletin").
