I EDUCATION AND TRAINING Statistical Bulletin

28 October 1982 SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN THE COMMUNITY Full-time education - school year 1980/81 Young people stay longer in full-time education than was the case ten years ago. For example in the Community of Ten in 1980/81, 36% of 18-year old men and the same percentage of women of the same age were full-time students compared with correspond­ ing figures of 28% for men and 23% for women in 1970/71. A relative increase of an approximately similar nature is to be found in the enrolment ratios for all ages from 15 to 24 years, although considerable differences occur between individual member countries. The extension to higher ages of the full-time education of young women is parti­ cularly noticeable. At ages up to 18 years in 1980/81 the percentage of the Communi­ ty's population of girls still at school was equal to or slightly higher than that of boys. In fact in five Member States there were more girls than boys in the second stage of second level education, in spite of the fact that the population of the age group concerned numbered about 5% less girls than boys (Remember, however, that in this age group part-time education associated with apprenticeship in certain countries is undertaken more by boys than by girls). Only beyond the age of 19 years and at the third level of education are women still in a minority relative to men; even so, they are now more numerous than they were formerly. The estimated total number of pupils and students at all levels in the Community continued to fall in 1980/81, being 1.0% lower than in the previous year and 2.9% be­ low the maximum attained in 1976/77. The drop can be attributed to the fall in birth rates. Some years earlier, the effect being most noticeable in 1980/81 at the younger end of the school age range. As for pupils and students of foreign nationality, an increase in their numbers can be observed in all Community countries for which statistics are available.

EXPLANATORY NOTES For general explanatory notes see "EDUCATION AND TRAINING", EUROSTAT 1980 LUXEMBOURG Statistics of education published by EUROSTAT in the past have included for Luxembourg the Luxembourgish students pursuing their studies abroad, these students also being counted in the countries where they studied. In this bulletin only students studying within the territory of the country are included, as is the case with all other Member States. This change of practice accounts for the apparent reduction in the number of students at the higher levels in Luxembourg in comparison with earlier publications. The small number of 3rd level students in Luxembourg is due to the absence of a conventional university in the country, the inhabitants pursuing their studies elsewhere. The latter numbered 1 461 (including 430 women) in 1970/71 and 2 299 (including 780 women) in 1980/81. SYMBOLS : *
