NOTE: Because of rounding, details may not add to totals. Unclassified figures represent programs not assigned to a level of education. Such programs may be strictly ungraded, as many special education programs are, or they may span across the international standard boundaries that separate levels. See the supplemental note to Indicator 8 for a discussion of levels of education; the supplemental note on enrollment reference groups typical starting ages and years of completion for upper secondary and higher education; the supplental note for details on data provided by West Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland; on the calculation of full-time equivalent enrollments; and the supplemental note on comparing school enrollment in the Current Population Survey to the same in the 1990 Census.
