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. When collecting this data, providers can choose to use the answer option 'Prefer not to say' which can be mapped to 'Information Refused'. |
