Purpose and history
The purpose of The Attainment Register is to give an overall statistical description of the educational level of the population at any given time.
The core educational data was first collected in 1974. For the oldest section of the Danish population, the educational data are still extracted from the population and housing census 1970. Information about the education of immigrants was first collected in 1999. From this time and onwards, information has been continuously collected.
Description of Contents
Using data from The Attainment Register, it is possible to describe the educational level of the population at a given time.
Statistical Concepts
Educational variables:
Highest level of general education completed = a person's highest level of general education completed (Basic school, generall upper-secondary education).
- Educational code = 4-digit code for each individual education
- Time of beginning = time of beginning of the education completed.
- Time of completion = time of completion of the education completed
- Institution code = code of the institution at which the education was completed
Highest level of vocational qualifying education completed = a person's highest level of vocational qualifying education completed (Vocational and further education).
- Educational code = 4-digit code for each individual education
- Time of beginning = time of beginning of the education completed.
- Time of completion = time of completion of the education completed
- Institution code = code of the institution at which the education was completed.
Highest level of education completed = a person's highest level of education completed

Definition of the higher education completed.
Especially vocational qualifying education is of importance when the register is used. This is created on the basis of the method below:
First, the highest general education completed and the highest vocational qualifying education completed is separately found:
The highest general education completed prioritizes the highest prescribed general education which the person has completed until the time of status. General education comprises in general: study/educational qualifying education, basic school, general or vocational upper-secondary education.
The highest vocational qualifying education completed is a prioritization of the longest prescribed vocational education which the person has completed until the time of status.
Highest vocational qualifying education comprises an education which provides the person with a specific vocationl skill (or if the person is not in employment, then access to membership of a unemployment insurance fund).
The highest education completed is created on the basis of this. If there is a vocational qualifying education, then this is the highest education completed, or the highest general education completed is selected.
In cases where there is no highest vocational qualifying education completed or highest general education completed, the highest education completed is not stated.
