Enrolments (FTE) in NSW government schools by FOEI quarters and SA4 groupings (2014-2023)

**Data Notes:**\r\n\r\n* Enrolments are from system extracts in April and are not mid-year census enrolments which are extracted in August.\r\n\r\n* The Family Occupation and Education Index (FOEI) is a school level index of educational disadvantage related to socioeconomic background. It has been selected as the basis of the equity loading for socio-economic background in the department's new Resource Allocation Model. FOEI is constructed from parental education and occupation information collected from student enrolment forms and recorded in the Enrolment Registration Number system. FOEI uses a statistical regression model to produce a weighted combination of school-level parental education and occupation variables based on the extent to which each variable uniquely predicts average school performance.\r\n\r\n* Previous publications of the Statistical Bulletin compared enrolments in DoE regions. From 2014 these geographies have been discontinued and replaced with a geographical structure based on the new ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). Groups of ASGS Statistical Area 4 (SA4) boundaries in NSW have been combined into 11 groups for reporting and publication of department data.\r\n\r\n**Data Source:**\r\n\r\n* [Schools and Students: Annual Statistical Bulletin](https://education.nsw.gov.au/about-us/education-data-and-research/cese/publications/statistics/annual-statistical-bulletin "Schools and Students: Statistical Bulletin").

**数据说明：**

* 本次统计的学生注册人数取自4月的系统导出数据，并非8月采集的年中普查注册人数。

* 家庭职业与教育指数（Family Occupation and Education Index, FOEI）是一项用以衡量学校层面教育劣势程度的指数，与学生的社会经济背景密切相关。该指数已被选定为该部门新型资源分配模型中，社会经济背景维度公平权重的计算基准。FOEI依托学生注册登记表收集、并录入注册编号系统的家长教育程度与职业信息构建而成，通过统计回归模型，依据各变量对学校平均学业表现的独特预测能力，对学校层面的家长教育与职业变量进行加权组合，最终生成该指数。

* 此前发布的统计公报曾对教育部门各区域的注册人数进行对比分析。自2014年起，原有的地理分区方式已停止使用，取而代之的是基于澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS）新版《澳大利亚统计地理标准》（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）的地理架构。新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）范围内的ASGS统计区域4（Statistical Area 4, SA4）边界群组被整合为11个报告群组，用于部门数据的发布与统计汇报。
