NSW public school February census full-time equivalent (FTE) enrolments (2020-2024)

This data shows February census enrolment figures. All enrolments are self-reported in full-time equivalent (FTE) units and include both full-time and part-time students.\r\n\r\n**Data Notes:**\r\n\r\n* Data is self reported by schools at the start of Term 1 each year and is sourced through the School Entitlement System. Enrolment numbers are a major component linked to government funding.\r\n\r\n* Student enrolments are generally reported in FTE units. The FTE for students studying less than 10 units, the minimum workload, is determined by the formula: 0.1 x the number of units studied and represented as a proportion of the full-time enrolment of 1.0 FTE.\r\n\r\n* Students in Years 11 or 12 can enrol to study as a part-time student or a full-time student. For the annual census, a part-time student is enrolled in less than 10 units, regardless of where those units are studied. All Kindergarten to Year 10 students are considered to be full-time. Pre-school students can be enrolled on a part or full time basis.\r\n\r\n* All special education support class and Intensive English class enrolments are full-time, whilst distance education enrolments can be part-time.\r\n\r\n* Principals must ensure that each student is only counted once. For example, support class enrolments cannot be counted under mainstream as well.\r\n\r\n* A full-time Year 11 student studies 12 or more school delivered units, or a combined total of 12 or more school delivered units and non-school delivered VET units.\r\n\r\n* A full-time Year 12 student studies 10 or more school delivered units, or a combined total of 10 or more school delivered units and non-school delivered VET units.\r\n\r\n* Operational directorates given with school names are the current 2023 directorates. Due to changes in directorates over time this may mean enrolments by operational directorate is not comparable over time.\r\n\r\n**Data Source:**\r\n\r\n* Online Management of School Enrolment and Entitlement system (OMSEE).
