School advice and revision advice for primary education; background characteristics

This table provides figures on the number of pupils in grade 8 who received school advice at the end of primary education (excluding special primary education) by household income, gender and migrant background. In grade 8 the primary school gives advice on secondary education (vo) that suits a pupil. Since school year 2014/'15, the teacher gives a first school advice before 1 March, after which after the final test in April/May a final school advice is followed. The final school advice may differ from the first school advice if the final test has been made better than expected on the basis of the first school advice. The advice can then be considered and revised upwards. The table shows the first school advice and final school advice by household income, gender and migrant background. The population in the table consists of pupils in grade 8 who received school advice and were enrolled in primary education on 1 October of the school year. Data available from school year 2014/'15. Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Amendments as of 13 May 2022: Under point 4 Sources and Methods, the explanation of the trend break was extended to include school year 2018/'19. When will there be new figures? The final figures for the school year 2021/'22 will be available in the second quarter of 2023.
