PUPILS
The number of pupils in elementary and secondary education in this leaflet refers to the number of pupils and students enrolled on February 1, 2010. For non-university tertiary education and university education the data refer to all active inscriptions in a diploma contract in an institution for higher education on 30 June 2009. A student can have several inscriptions. In adult education and part-time arts education, enrolment rates are recorded. These rates may be higher than the number of physical persons as a pupil may be enrolled in several courses. In adult education, enrolments are counted for training programmes which were started in the period of reference (from 1 April 2008 up to and including 31 March 2009). The data for the reference period started on 1 April 2009 were not available at the time of the editing of this publication. In order to avoid double counts, the pupils enrolled in special education due to long-term illness (pupils in type 5 special education) are not included in the figures of special education (126 pupils in special nursery education, 197 pupils in special primary education and 333 pupils in special secondary education). On 1 September 2009 2 new training forms are introduced in the Flemish educational system: the associate degree (‘HBO’) and advanced secondary education (‘Se-n-Se’). Pupils and students enrolled in French language schools or in French language sections of Dutch language schools coming under the authority of the Flemish authorities are not included in the figures either. Yet, for higher education, courses in other languages are included in the figures. Since the 2004-2005 academic year, Flemish tertiary education has been organising courses leading to Bachelor and Master Degrees. In Flanders, Bachelor courses are professionally oriented or academically oriented. Academically oriented bachelor programmes are mainly intended to make students pass on to master courses. A professionally oriented bachelor can take a master course after successful completion of a bridging programme. The study volume of bachelor courses amounts to minimum 180 credits. The study volume of master courses amounts to minimum 60 credits. As from the 2005-2006 academic year, the traditional year system is replaced by a more flexible system of credits.
SCHOOLS
A school is an institution which provides education and which is managed by one school head. In adult education, the term “centre for adult education” is used. Institutions providing special education type 5 are not included in the figures (6 schools in special nursery education, 6 schools in special primary education and 4 schools in special secondary education).
STAFF
Staff statistics only register staff members either paid directly by the Education and Training policy domain or staff members 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 is not included. Subsidised contractual staff is not taken into account either, as these staff members are not fully paid by the Education and Training policy domain. Contractual staff in tenured posts is included in the figures. Staff data on the 2009-2010 school year relate to January 2010, as known in June 2010. University staff data were provided by the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR) and relate to February 1, 2009. Data on the 2009-2010 academic year were not available at the time of going to press of this publication. As far as education staff is concerned, a distinction is made between managing and teaching staff on the one hand and other staff categories on the other. Managing staff consists of school heads and deputy heads. Teaching staff carries out a teaching assignment or benefiting
from the pre-pension scheme. Other staff categories comprise administrative staff, manual staff of Community education, educational support staff, paramedic staff, staff of Pupil Guidance Centres, inspectorate staff, educational supervision staff, staff in boarding schools and child carers in nursery education. In elementary education, managing and teaching staff includes, as of the 2003-2004 school year, physical education teachers (in nursery education) and special care co-ordinators. Numbers of staff members are expressed in physical persons. Physical persons are registered for the education level and education network where they carry out their main teaching assignment. The number of staff members expressed in full-time equivalents is the sum of all partial assignments of all staff members (in other words including the replacements of less than one year). In colleges of higher education, teaching assignments of visiting professors and mandate fees are not included in the full-time equivalents. As for university education, figures on staff include visiting professors and early retired in terms of staff members, but not in the budgetary full-time equivalents. From 1 September 2008 onwards the staff members working in adult basic education are paid directly by the Education and Training policy domain. The Education and Training policy domain functions as ‘third payer’ for the staff members which have an employment contract with the adult basic education centre and who are not paid in another way; This ‘third payer’s scheme’ has been introduced on the base of the decree on adult education (15 June 2007). The courses ‘associate degree-nursing’ are organized by institutions that organize full-time secondary education. These data are estimations.
BUDGET
The budget is expressed in terms of available operating appropriations which are estimated annually and entered into the (adjusted) expenditure budget of the Flemish authorities. The operating appropriations comprise non-differentiated appropriations, differentiated commitment appropriations, variable appropriations, authorisations and additional appropriations of previous years, decreased by appropriations intended to cover the liquidation of commitments and by expenditure intended to cover debt load. 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 agreement) and reallocations of appropriations. Data for 2010 relate to the initial appropriations. Certain cross-level expenses, of which the breakdown among the different levels is known, are allocated to the respective levels (amongst other things educational priority policy and investments). Without this adjustment one gets a distorted picture of the actual expenses per level. For 2010 the actual data are not available yet. Either the same breakdown as in 2009 or estimation was proposed. Thus, these figures do not take account of the efforts paid by other (local) authorities, nor of the efforts paid by parents, schools and private companies. The cost per pupil is calculated on the basis of the number of pupils eligible for funding. A pupil eligible for funding is a regularly registered pupil who gets a weighting factor on the grounds of certain criteria such as education level, course of study, origin, ... The number of pupils eligible for funding defines the size of the operating budget and the staff of each educational institution. Amounts are expressed in thousands of euros, unless specified otherwise.

The increase in the investment budget in 2008 can mainly be explained by the additional resources for the renovation of the infrastructure of the University Hospital Gent.
The division has set itself the following goals: • It provides financial services to the staff of the colleges of higher education, so that the salaries can be paid correctly and on time. • It grants the operating budget to the institutions of higher education. This implies, among other things, providing estimates on time, correctly calculating the operating resources and paying them on time, and drawing up budget proposals on time. • It is responsible for managing the data relating to higher education. This includes, among other things, the timely and correct collection of student data, so as to make these available for purposes of financing, public accountability and information provision. • It examines the feasibility of new regulatory initiatives, in order to inform those who prepare policy about the consequences of the regulations for the implementation. • The division ensures a customer-friendly provision of services to institutions, students and staff. The support of the Flemish Government commissioners for the universities and the colleges of higher education respectively also comes under this entity.

BIS (Individually Coached Studying) On 12 December 2006 it was decided to gradually reduce BIS activities (distance learning). In practice this means that registrations for BIS Classic were ceased for the main public on 16 April 2007. Registration for BIS Online were already ceased in the autumn of 2006. Only the target groups “examencommissie” and detainees can still register for written courses and coaching by BIS. The decree “concering Education XX” adjusts the gradual run-down of BIS activities. On 1 January 2011 the registration will be ceased. Therefore, data are not longer reported.

Dutch Language Houses The assignment of the Dutch Language Houses is to contribute to the integration of non-Dutch speaking adults in the Flemish society. They guide the non-native Dutch speakers to the most suitable Dutch course available. Together with the immigration reception bureaus and VDAB (Flemish Employment and Vocational Training Agency), the DLH are part of an interlinked cooperation, aiming to provide an efficient service for non-Dutch speaking persons (newcomers). There are eight Dutch-language Houses: one in each province and one in the cities of Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent. Consortiums of adult education The consortiums of adult education are regional partnerships between the centres for adult basic education and the centres for adult education. There are 13 consortiums of adult education. They are responsible for the harmonisation of the training programmes, more co-operation, quality improvement and professionalization of adult education. They also co-operate with other publicly run adult education providers. The participants can contact the consortiums for questions and complains. Part-time education in the arts DKO offers a wide variety of artistic courses for youngsters and adults. DKO has 4 study courses: visual arts, music, word craft and dance. Each of those courses of study is subdivided into a number of options. All aspects of perception and practice of art are dealt with. Participants gain artistic insight, learn basic techniques and acquire theoretical knowledge that can be applied in practice. Music education provides music classes teaching how to play 70 different musical instruments, the visual arts course of study organises 30 types of workshops. Courses in word craft and dance largely involve hands-on sessions. Young people can prepare themselves in a serious and goal-oriented way for higher education in the arts. For adults, education in the arts can be an interesting pass time or a first step towards becoming an amateur or professional arts practitioner. Part-time art education offers youngsters and adults a chance to fully develop their own artistic personality.
