A vocational education is a youth education which gives the student a vocational qualification. Vocational education statistics is in its current form comparable since 2005 and is part of the overall Student Register, which contains information on all students and students in ordinary education in Denmark., Statistical presentation, These statistics contains yearly estimates of on the activity on vocational educations in Denmark. This includes the number of entrants, the number of completed and the number of active students. The statistics are divided by education and enrolment type, and the students' age, sex, ancestry and national origin., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The data for the statistics is collected yearly in October from the administrative systems of the educational institutions. Data is adjusted into the format used in the Student Register. In cooperation with the National Agency for It and Learning, Statistics Denmark has set guidelines for this conversion, since the conversion depends on the type of student. Data is validated at both macro and micro level, where fluctuations in the number of students across time are controlled for errors and irregularities at the individual level, for example overlap between educations, are corrected., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are relevant for public administrators, scientists and other analysts, journalists and citizens etc. as basis for prognoses, analyses and planning purposes in the educational field, but also for example in the labour market field and the integration field. The basic data for the statistics are used as background data for most of the personal statistics at Statistics Denmark, and it is the basis for the tables in StatBank Denmark about education. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The administrative systems that are the basis for the statistics are used by the institutions for their own daily administration of the pupils and also for the payment of different economic grants. Correct registers are therefore necessary for the economy of the institutions and contributes to an expected high quality of the data source. The vocational education field is a field with many different ways to get an education, which creates more possibilities for incorrect registrations e.g. wrong registrations of the students on the institutions or errors in the conversion to the correct format., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published about 4 months after the reference time, which is 1 October. Publications are released on time, as stated in the release calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The current time series of these statistics goes back to 2005, but statistics on vocational education have been made further back than this. Vocational education reforms can be a challenge when comparing figures over time. Furthermore, it may be difficult to compare the figures internationally, as vocational training is defined differently from country to country., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, In the StatBank, these statistics can be found under the subject , Upper secondary education, .
