Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | Collection of this data element should be preceded by the collection of the data element Person—student/employment training indicator, code N. Because reference periods may vary it is possible that more than one category of the Value Domain may be a valid response to a question on student type. For example over a number of months a student may move from primary to secondary education. Therefore it is preferable for this Data Element to refer to a specific point in time rather than a period of time. When a period of time is referenced it should be precisely specified. |

Collection methods: | The permissible values for this data element are used to form the response categories to the question: "Which category below best describes your education or training status?" |
