Students participating in vocational training falling under the scope of the Public Education Act are an exception to this. Thus, in grades 9-11, the comparison groups called technical schools and vocational schools only include institutions falling under the scope of the Public Education Act. Due to the differences in the range of participants, the national average results in grades 9-11 \u2013 with the exception of reading comprehension and mathematics in grade 10 \u2013 cannot be compared with the national average results in other grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>&nbsp;Time period covered<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">2006-2019, 2021-2024 (there was no survey in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Levels of the data<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Institutional<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Settlement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Student<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Main groups of data<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>1.

It contains the ID number of the institution, the code of settlement and the mark of class in the case of every student\/observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2018, the Educational Authority assigns the student data with a new, anonym identifier. This variable has been added to the previous databases retroactively, meaning the years between 2008 \u2013 2017. Thus the variable azon_uj reflects the student\u2019s anonym identifier between 2008 \u2013 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Other features, notes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The institutional datasets can be merged with the settlement and student data by using the ID number, while the settlement and student datasets can be merged by the ID number and settlement codes. From 2008, the unique identifiers of the students have not changed through the years, thus the data of each grade (6., 8.,10.) can be linked together on a student level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data have been merged to the KIR-STAT data (number of pupils, types of education, identifiers) every year on an institutional level, concerning the given school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State of the databases from 2021 are on a temporary stage as linking the KIRSTAT data to instituions (and their settlements) caused a difficulty due to the transformation of the vocational training sector. Variables merged from Kirstat can be found in the NABC databases although many of the cases have missing values (where could not merge) and it is also important to keep in mind: where cases are not missing (successful merge) there is still an uncertainty if the merge was correct by the variables omid and telephely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NABC tests are filled out digitally since the year 2022.
