Education in States and Nations: 1991

(ESN) Indicator 29: Note on new scientists and engineers

Notes on Figures and Tables

Asian countries

Detailed national education statistics were reconfigured to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) and Classification of Instructional Programs (CID).

Europe

Detailed national education data were available for Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. These data were standardized.

Netherlands, United Kingdom

Data do not include open universities.

Spain, United Kingdom

Provisional figures.

United States

Due to the presence of several large, private universities in the District of Columbia that draw students primarily from outside the District, the completion ratio for the District may be misleading. Many of the graduates either live outside the District and are not counted in the age-range population, or moved to the District solely for the purpose of attending school.

Note on graduation reference age

See note on enrollment reference groups and graduation and entry reference ages: indicators 8, 11, 23, 24, and 29.
