Suspensions and expulsions in NSW government schools (2005-2023)

This dataset provides information on short suspensions, long suspensions and expulsions in NSW government schools. \r\n\r\n**Data Notes:**\r\n\r\n* The new suspension policy, Student Behaviour Policy, was implemented at the beginning of Term 4 2022, resulting in a change from suspension types and reasons to suspension grounds and descriptors. Consequently, the 2022 full year fact sheet can only provide data on suspensions in Terms 1 to 3 in 2022.\r\n\r\n* From 2021, the Department will publish both semester 1 and full year factsheets. In previous years, only a full year factsheet was produced. Please note that semester 1 and full year data is not comparable, as students suspended in both semesters are only counted once in the full year publication.\r\n\r\n* Data in 2020 and 2021 is not comparable to previous years due to the impact of Covid 19. \r\n\r\n* ABS Statistical Area 4 (SA4) boundaries in NSW are combined into 11 groups for reporting of suspensions data from 2019. From 2013 to 2018, data was published by Family and Community Services districts.\r\n\r\n* To protect individual students’ identities, values under 5 are represented as

本数据集涵盖新南威尔士州（NSW）公立学校的短期停课、长期停课及开除处分相关信息。

**数据说明：**

* 2022年第四学期初，全新的《学生行为政策（Student Behaviour Policy）》正式实施，原停课类型与停课原因的分类体系调整为停课依据与行为描述。因此，2022年全年情况简报仅能提供该年度第一至第三学期的停课数据。

* 自2021年起，新南威尔士州教育部将同步发布学期1简报与全年简报；过往年份仅发布全年简报。需注意：学期1数据与全年数据不具可比性，因为在全年简报中，两学期均被停课的学生仅会被统计一次。

* 受新冠疫情（COVID-19）影响，2020年与2021年的数据与过往年份不具备可比性。

* 2019年起，新南威尔士州的澳大利亚统计局（ABS）统计区域4（SA4）边界被合并为11个组别，用于停课数据的报告发布；2013年至2018年的数据则按家庭与社区服务辖区发布。

* 为保护学生个人身份信息，数值小于5的条目将被表示为
