Population and students and qualifications in education leading to a qualification by Year, Type of Education, Age and Information

Documentation of statistics The students and qualifications of educational institutions draws an overall picture of the students and attained qualifications in education leading to a qualification or degree. All post-comprehensive educational sectors (upper secondary general, vocational, university of applied sciences, university) are covered by these statistics with harmonised concepts and classifications. In this table, population serves as supplementary data alongside the annual numbers of students and qualifications and degrees. Neither the population nor the population by age group can be divided into educational groups, but the numbers remain the same.
