Description

General Household Survey 2015 table counting Singapore resident students aged 5 years and over, in thousands, by the level of education they were attending, cross-tabulated by age group, sex, and ethnic group. Columns break each total into 5–9, 10–14, 15–19, and 20 years and over, split by males and females, and the grid repeats for Chinese, Malays, Indians, and other ethnic groups. Education researchers and demographers use it to compare enrolment profiles across communities and to see at which ages students were still in primary, secondary, or tertiary education.
