Notes: - In order to allow a comparison over time this indicator uses the original definition that was used for the paper-based collection of data for 2003 to 2008, adjusted by the new definition 2009 numbers with prioritised ethnicity. The 2009 to 2011 rates are from actual new definition numbers.
- In order to allow a comparison over time MELAA (Middle Eastern/Latin American/African) has been included with the Other ethnic group from 2008.
- For this indicator European/Pākehā refers to people who affiliate as New Zealand European, Other European or European (not further defined). For example, this includes and is not limited to people who consider themselves as Australian (excluding Australian Aborigines), British and Irish, American, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
- Due to methodological changes in the allocation of attainment levels in 2003 and 2004, for leavers achieving a qualification between little or no formal attainment and UE standard, the percentages of leavers with at least NCEA Level 1 in both 2003 and 2004 are not comparable with other years, and have been omitted.
