Age distribution of part-time secondary students in NSW government schools (2011-2024)

**Data Notes:**\r\n\r\n* Data is collected mid-year (census date: first Friday in August) from NSW government schools as per National Schools Statistics Collection (NSSC).\r\n\r\n* Data excludes support students.\r\n\r\n* Students in Years 11 or 12 can enrol to study as a part-time or 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.\r\n\r\n* Student enrolments are generally reported in full-time equivalent units (FTE). 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* In most scholastic years there are a small number of students in atypical age groups. For students under 18 years, these have been included in the nearest band. This is indicated with an asterisk. As a result, the sum of each row may not equal the totals reported. Mature-age students’ data (18 years old and above) is not anonymised. \r\n\r\n**Data Source:**\r\n\r\n* Education Statistics and Measurement, Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation.\r\n
