Flemish education in figures | school year 2017-2018 | 1

II DEFINITIONS ABBREVIATIONS M Male F Female

SCHOOL POPULATION The number of pupils in elementary and secondary education in this publication refers to all pupils and students enrolled (including pupils not eligible for funding) on 1 February 2017. For non-university tertiary education and university education, the data refer to all active enrolments in a degree contract in an institution for higher education on 30 June 2018 (enrolments on academic initial programmes). Courses in a language other than Dutch are also taken into account in the figures. A student may be enrolled on several programmes. In adult education, the number of unique enrolments on a programme during the reference period is recorded. Students can enroll on more than one programme. The data concerning adult education refer to the period from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018. In part-time arts education, the number of pupils/students eligible for funding is reported. Individuals enrolled on more than one course of study are counted more than once. In order to avoid double counting, pupils enrolled in special education due to long-term illness (type 5 special education) are not included in the figures for special education (131 pupils in special nursery education, 223 pupils in special primary education and 440 pupils in special secondary education on 1 February 2018). Pupils and students enrolled in French language schools or in French language sections of Dutch language schools under the control of the Flemish authorities are not included in the figures either. In the academic year 2013-2014 the higher education sector was thoroughly reorganised. With the exception of the academically oriented arts programmes and the academically oriented programmes offered by the Maritime Academy (Hogere Zeevaartschool), the university colleges have transferred their academically oriented bachelor and master programmes to the universities. Today the university colleges continue to offer their professionally oriented programmes and, in the context of a ‘School of Arts’, also academically oriented arts programmes. The Maritime Academy continues to organise both professionally and academically oriented programmes within the field of Nautical Sciences.

SCHOOLS A school is an institution which provides education and which is managed by one principal. In adult education, the term ‘centre for adult education’ is used; in adult basic education the term ‘centre for adult basic education’. Institutions providing type 5 special education are not included in the figures (six schools in special nursery education, six schools in special primary education and five schools in special secondary education).

STAFF Staff statistics only record staff members who are either paid directly by the Education and Training policy area or whose salaries are covered by the block grant awarded to higher education. As a consequence, staff members benefiting from the pre-pension scheme (TBS55+) are included in the figures. Maintenance, technical and service staff in subsidised educational networks are not included. Subsidised contractual staff are not taken into account either, as these staff members are not fully paid by the Education and Training policy area. Contractual staff in tenured posts is included in the figures. Staff data for the 2017-2018 school year relate to January 2018, as known in June 2016. University staff data were provided by the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR) and reflect the position on 1 February 2017. Data on the 2017-2018 academic year were not available at the time of publication.

The staff data include school principals, vice-principals, teaching staff, administrative staff, manual staff in Community education, educational support staff, paramedic staff, staff of pupil guidance centres, inspectorate staff, educational advisors, staff in boarding schools and childcare workers in nursery education. In this publication, most data in the tables and charts refer to staff members expressed as numbers of physical persons. Replacements of less than one year are taken into account. Physical persons are registered for the education level and education network where they carry out their main teaching assignment. In a limited number of tables and charts the number of staff members is expressed in budgetary full-time equivalents. This is explicitly mentioned in the title. The number of budgetary full-time equivalents is the sum of all partial assignments of all staff members (i.e. including the replacements of less than one year). In university colleges, teaching assignments of visiting professors and mandate fees are not included in the full-time equivalents. For university education, staff figures include visiting professors and those in early retirement in terms of staff members, but not in the budgetary full-time equivalents. As a result of the transfer (in 2013-2014) of the academically oriented higher education programmes from university colleges to universities, personnel involved in the transferred fields of study is no longer included in the staff statistics of the university colleges from 1 January 2014 onwards. In the year 2013-2014 personnel working in the transferred fields of study in the Catholic University of Leuven (K.U.Leuven) and Ghent University (UGent) has already been reported in the staff statistics of the universities. The staff in the transferred fields of study of the other universities has been reported in the staff statistics of the university colleges. As from 2014-2015 all personnel in the transferred fields of study is reported in the staff statistics of the universities. On 1 September 2009, the fourth stage vocational secondary education programme in nursing was converted into the associate degree programme. Until school year 2016-2017 staff figures of the associate degree programme only included staff of institutions offering 100% associate degree nursing (only 4 institutions). Staff of the 16 institutions offering associate degree nursing as well as full-time secondary education was not taken into account. From the 2017-2018 school year, an estimate of staff for associate degree nursing of these 16 institutions was included in the staff figures of associate degree nursing, thus giving more accurate staff figures.

These figures do not take account of the contributions by other (local) authorities, nor of the contributions by parents, schools and private companies.

VGO Subsidised private education

The information relating to infrastructure, NARIC and the examination board relate to the calendar year 2017.

OGO Subsidised public education

INFRASTRUCTURE The governing board of the educational institutions, boarding schools and pupil guidance centres in both subsidised public and subsidized private education can file an application for infrastructure subsidies to the Agency for Infrastructure in Education (AGION). Infrastructure work in primary schools is 70% subsided and other educational levels, boarding schools and the pupil guidance centres can receive a grant of 60% of their building cost. AHOVOKS allocates the authorisations and investment resources to the university colleges and the research universities. The school buildings of the Flemish Community are financed by GO! Education of the Flemish Community.

NARIC NARIC-Flanders is responsible for the recognition of foreign diplomas in higher education (academic recognition), higher vocational education, adult education and secondary education, as well as for professional recognition for teachers from the EEA. In addition, NARIC-Flanders issues certificates to holders of a Flemish diploma who want to go abroad to work or study.

BUDGET

Infrastructure www.agion.be

The budget is expressed in terms of available operating appropriations which are estimated annually and included in the (adjusted) expenditure budget of the Flemish authorities.

School and study allowances www.studietoelagen.be

The operating appropriations comprise differentiated new commitment appropriations, variable appropriations and authorisations. The term ‘available appropriations’ means that these appropriations, in addition to the appropriations mentioned above, also comprise the share of overall provisions (mainly index and collective labour agreement) and reallocations of appropriations.

NARIC http://naricvlaanderen.be

Certain cross-level expenses, of which the breakdown among the different levels is known, are allocated to the respective levels (including educational priority policy and investments). Without this adjustment, the picture of actual expenditure per level is distorted. For 2018, the actual data are not available yet, so either an estimate is used or the same breakdown as in 2017 is assumed. The cost per pupil is calculated on the basis of the number of pupils enrolled.

(1) Autonomous nursery schools organise nursery education only. Autonomous primary schools organise primary education only. (2) Excluding the so-called ‘type 5-schools’. These schools organise special education of type 5 only (for pupils with long-term illness). In special elementary education, 6 schools organise nursery and primary education. In special secondary education there are 5 schools organising type 5-education. In order to avoid double counts, the pupils enrolled in special education type 5 are not included in the figures. (3) 16 of the 939 schools organising full-time regular secondary education also organise the courses for the associate degree in nursing. Beside these schools, 4 schools only organise the courses for the associate degree in nursing. In the table above, the 16 schools referred to in this footnote are reported under both full-time regular secondary education and associate degree nursing. (4) 43 of these 939 schools also organise part-time vocational secondary education. There are 5 schools that only organise part-time vocational secondary education. In the table above, the 43 schools referred to in this footnote are reported under both full-time secondary education and part-time vocational education. (5) During reference period 1/4/2017-31/3/2018 there were 97 centres for adult education, 91 of which offered secondary adult education and 30 of which offered higher adult education. This means some centres organized secondary as well as higher adult education.

(3) In the data on the university colleges, visiting professors and mandate fees are not included in the number of full-time equivalents. (4) Since 1 September 2008 the staff members working at adult basic education centres have been paid directly by the Education and Training policy area. The Education and Training policy area functions as a third-party payment provider for staff members who have an employment contract with the adult basic education centre but are not paid through any other channel. This third-party payment scheme was introduced on the basis of the Decree on Adult Education (15 June 2007). (5) The data for February 2018 were not yet available at the time of publication.

(3) The type of tertiary education is not known (because the student is studying abroad or in another Community of Belgium).

Note: The data above are not yet final as a number of applicants are still under consideration (24,322 applicants) for the school year 2017-2018. Due to this, the number of allowances granted may increase further.

(1) A file needs to be completed before a final decision can be taken. For this reason incomplete files are not taken into account. (2) The person concerned receives the equivalence (s)he applied for or for which the file was initially examined. (3) In case of a negative decision equivalence is not granted. (4) An â€˜otherâ€™ decision concerns an equivalence with another study certificate or level than the one initially applied for or examined. e.g. a person applies for equivalence with the degree of master but receives equivalence with the degree of bachelor.

The figures above reflect the number of unique candidates who in 2017 were effectively enrolled in and paid for a course of study (enrolments) after they registered (registrations) at an information session. In 2017 there were 5,844 unique participants in at least one examination by the Examination Board of the Flemish Community (participants). This figure is higher than the number of enrolments because those candidates who enrolled for 2017 but did not yet graduate have been included in the figures.

2 Succes rate by stage and type of secondary education in 2017 For 65% of all individual exams held by the Examination Board of the Flemish Community the candidate gained at least 50% of the marks. Subdivided according to type of education the success rate proved highest in vocational secondary education, followed by secondary education in the arts and technical secondary education. In general secondary education only slightly more than half of the candidates passed the examination. Number of exams Examination Board

In elementary education a school can organise nursery education, primary education or both nursery and primary education. In the table above the following information is integrated: -- nursery schools: all schools organising nursery education -- primary schools: all schools organising primary education -- elementary schools: schools organising only nursery education, only primary education or both nursery and primary education. As a consequence, the sum of the number of nursery schools and the number of primary schools is higher than the number of elementary schools. Besides these schools there were 6 schools organising type 5 special education (for pupils with long-term illness). These provide special nursery education as well as special primary education. They are not included in the data. French language schools are not included in the data

The figures above reflect the number of unique candidates who in 2017 were effectively enrolled in and paid for a course of study (enrolments) after they registered (registrations) at an information session. In 2017 there were 5,844 unique participants in at least one examination by the Examination Board of the Flemish Community (participants). This figure is higher than the number of enrolments because those candidates who enrolled for 2015 but did not yet graduate have been included in the figures.

2 Succes rate by stage and type of secondary education in 2017

(1) Integrated teacher training programmes are professionally oriented Bachelor’s programmes leading to a Bachelor’s degree in education (nursery education, primary education or secondary education (group 1)). The university colleges award the teacher’s diploma. (2) Specific teacher training is a programme of 60 credits that the student can follow after professional training. The training focuses only on pedagogical skills. Half of the 60 credits (30 credits) must be devoted to practice. Specific teacher training replaces academic initial teacher training, academic level initial teacher training and the certificate of teaching proficiency. Specific teacher training is offered by universities, university colleges and centres for adult education. The diploma is a teaching degree and has the same value in the three institutions that organise this training. (3) For a small number of course participants the gender was not registered.
