column 1. For example, the enrollment number listed for 1986 is
for fall 1985.
2Based on the Consumer
Price Index for all urban consumers, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
U.S. Department of Labor.
3Projections in current
dollars are not shown after 2005 due to the uncertain behavior of
inflation over the long term.

have been revised from previously published figures. Mean absolute
percentage errors of selected education statistics can be found
in table A2.
