Abstract

The analysis is a cohort analysis of pupils graduating from primary and lower secondary school and their further education in the Danish school system. (Adult education is not included).

The present statistic, which is based on CPR numbers, was first collected in 1973. Before 1973 the Ministry of Education collected the information at class level. The first cohort analysis was published in March 1978 containing information about pupils who graduated in 1973/1974.

The cohort analysis is an analysis of the education of a cohort of graduated pupils leaving primary and lower secondary school. A cohort is defined as pupils leaving primary and lower secondary school without continuing in primary and lower secondary school. It is established how many students:
· Are in education
· Have completed an education
· Have interrupted an education
· Have no records about further education

Units and population: The analysis includes only pupils in Danish schools. The school has to be approved by the Ministry of Education. The analysis includes all pupils from the 8th to the 10th year of primary and lower secondary schools, free schools and continuation schools.

The analysis describes the pupils' status 3 months to 19 years and 3 months after graduation.

Variables: Final year pupil, status regarding education the following years, sex, age, and which institution the pupil graduated from.
