    This dataset captures the diversity of students with a language background other than English (LBOTE) who are enrolled in NSW government schools. **Data Notes:** * LBOTE and total (headcount) enrolment figures are collected in March of each year. Most other collections use enrolment data that are collected as part of the Mid Year Census in August. * The number of LBOTE students enrolled in SSPs, is not broken down into SA4 groupings but is included in SA4 Groups Total. * Primary support students are included in Year 3 to 6. Secondary support students are included in Year 7 to 10. * For more detailed analysis of students of language background other than English, please refer to * [Schools: Language Diversity in NSW](https://www.cese.nsw.gov.au/images/stories/PDF/LBOTE_Bulletin_2019_VR_AA.pdf "Schools: Language Diversity in NSW"). **Data Source:** * [Schools: Language Diversity in NSW](https://www.cese.nsw.gov.au/images/stories/PDF/LBOTE_Bulletin_2019_VR_AA.pdf "Schools: Language Diversity in NSW").

    This dataset captures the diversity of students with a language background other than English (LBOTE) who are enrolled in NSW government schools. **Data Notes:** * LBOTE students are those in whose home a language other than English is spoken by the student, parents, or other primary caregivers. * LBOTE as a percentage of school enrolment uses March enrolment data. * The table is ordered by the largest language groups for language groups with 1000 or more students in 2019. Language groups with fewer than 1000 students in 2019 are included in 'other language groups'. *Indian and Chinese Languages are included as a combined total, and also as separate distinct languages. Therefore Indian and Chinese data appears twice in the table. *Due to rounding issues, the total percentage for Indian and Chinese Language groups may be slightly different to the sum of the distinct languages. *There can be minor changes in the categorization of less common languages and dialects over time. These definitional variations account for the difference in the 2018 total as reported in the ‘Enrolments of LBOTE government school students by largest language groups’ table in the 2018 and 2019 LBOTE bulletins. **Data Source:** * Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation, NSW Department of Education.
