National identity reflects how an individual chooses to classify himself or herself. |

Notes |
The coding structure reflects that used in other national surveys and so allows comparative statistics to be derived both within and outside the sector. A student can identify himself or herself as having up to two national identities. Code 'U' Unknown should be used where a student has either not been asked or has failed to respond to a request for information about his or her national identity. Code 'R' Information refused should be used when the student has explicitly refused to provide the information. |
