Student Population: Trends

The Ministry uses school roll data in a number of ways: to fund and staff schools; to support policy analysis, development, and decision making; to monitor the outcomes of the New Zealand education system; and for national and international reporting purposes.

The roll data presented here is based on the 1 July roll returns.  The data includes gender, ethnic group, funding year level, and age.  A small amount of trend information is also available.

Identical information is available by school (Find Your Nearest School), as well as regional council and territorial authority (Know Your Region).

Alternatively a large amount of roll data is available from our statistical pages.  See July School Roll Returns.
