Introduction

The main source of information for the tables is a census of educational institutions carried out during July 2007. The data contained in this volume reflects a snapshot of education in New Zealand and therefore does not give cumulative enrolments over an entire year.

In these tables, the ethnicity of students at the pre-school level is normally identified by a parent or guardian. Ethnicity of students at school level is either self-identified or identified by a parent or guardian. Ethnicity is prioritised. An explanation of this can be found in the glossary.

A glossary that identifies other educational classifications and terms used in these tables can be found at the bottom of this page.

Unless otherwise stated, data in these tables was collected by the Data Management Unit of the Ministry of Education.
