Census 21 - Highest Level of Qualification ward level

The census is undertaken by the Office for National Statistics every 10 years and gives us a picture of all the people and households in England and Wales. The most recent census took place in March of 2021.The census asks every household questions about the people who live there and the type of home they live in. In doing so, it helps to build a detailed snapshot of society. Information from the census helps the government and local authorities to plan and fund local services, such as education, doctors' surgeries and roads.Key census statistics for Leicester are published on the open data platform to make information accessible to local services, voluntary and community groups, and residents. There is also a dashboard published showcasing various datasets from the census allowing users to view data for Leicester wards and compare this with Leicester overall statistics.Further information about the census and full datasets can be found on the ONS website - https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/aboutcensus/censusproductsHighest level of qualificationThis dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 years and over in England and Wales by their highest level of qualification. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.Definition: The highest level of qualification is derived from the question asking people to indicate all qualifications held, or their nearest equivalent.

Areas with significant levels of overseas migration such as Leicester and areas within Leicester such as Spinney Hill Road and Belgrave are likely to be particularly affected by this issue.Changes to the questionnaire's routing mean a reasonable proportion of residents will have identified a different qualification level than they did in 2011 even though they still hold the same qualifications.

英国国家统计局每隔十年便会进行人口普查，此调查旨在全面描绘英格兰和威尔士地区的人口与家庭状况。最近一次的普查于2021年3月进行。普查内容涵盖每户居民的个人信息及其居住环境，从而构建起社会详尽的快照。普查数据对于政府及地方当局在规划与资助教育、诊所和道路等地方服务方面具有重要意义。莱斯特市的关键普查统计数据已发布于公开数据平台，以便利地方服务、志愿者和社区团体以及居民获取信息。此外，还发布了一个仪表板，展示了普查中的多种数据集，用户可查看莱斯特各区的数据，并与全市统计数据进行比较。关于普查的详细信息及完整数据集可在国家统计局网站上查阅——https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/aboutcensus/censusproducts。最高学历水平本数据集提供了2021年人口普查的估算数据，按英格兰和威尔士16岁及以上常住居民的最高学历水平进行分类。估算数据以普查日，即2021年3月21日为准。定义：最高学历水平是通过询问居民列出所有所获学历或其最接近的等效学历而得出的。这可能包括与英国最接近的等效的外国学历。每个学历水平包含的学历类型如下：一级及入门级学历：1至4个A*至C级的GCSE，其他等级的GCSE，O级或CSE（任何等级），1个AS级，NVQ一级，基础GNVQ，基础或必需技能；二级学历：5个或更多A*至C级或9至4级的GCSE，O级（通过），CSE（一级），学校证书，1个A级，2至3个AS级，VCEs，中级或高级文凭，威尔士Baccalaureate中级文凭，NVQ二级，中级GNVQ，城市与行业协会工艺，BTEC一级或普通文凭，RSA文凭；三级学历：2个或更多A级或VCEs，4个或更多AS级，高级学校证书，进步或高级文凭，威尔士Baccalaureate高级文凭，NVQ三级；高级GNVQ，城市与行业协会高级工艺，ONC，OND，BTEC国家，RSA高级文凭；四级学历或以上：学位（BA，BSc），高学位（MA，PhD，PGCE），NVQ四级至五级，HNC，HND，RSA高级文凭，BTEC高级水平，专业资格（例如，教学、护理、会计）；其他学历：职业或与工作相关的学历，在英格兰或威尔士获得的其他学历，在英格兰或威尔士以外获得的学历（等效未说明或未知）。本数据集包含了莱斯特市各区的详细信息。国家统计局建议在解读最高学历水平数据时需谨慎，以下为相关限制：问卷要求受访者将海外获得的学历转换为英国等效学历水平，这降低了报告的准确性。如莱斯特及莱斯特市内的斯宾尼山路和贝尔格雷夫等地区，由于海外移民水平较高，可能特别受此问题影响。问卷引导方式的变化意味着相当比例的居民将识别出与2011年不同的学历水平，尽管他们仍然持有相同的学历。
