Data description

The Education Transition Register is a group-oriented version of The Student Register, where education are grouped and careers divided into "packets" of education. A group (packet) is defined as a sequence of education in a person's career with the same education code UDD.

A group is limited in time by the first record in the group and going forward until:

• First departure with competence (KOMP = 1, 3) • Last record in the group. (followed by the record in the new group or last record in the person's career)

With this approach to the group of programs, the large currents in the educational system is described, while the shifts that occur along the way is recorded. The Education Transition Register looks ex at vocational training and describes how many of those who start in the group who completes the group. Some of the students will change education so the program he or she ends up with, is not the one he / she started. Note that a person can have the same group several times. They will then be separated in time by another group or the group is completed with competence and then the student restarts in the group on a new education or continue at the same training at a higher level.
