(1) Including the credits for scientific research incorporated in the education budget. From 2002 on additional means from the special research fund were incorporated in the education budget. From the academic year 2004-2005 on the financiable students for the universities are not registrated anymore. This makes it impossible to calculate the expenditure per student.

Social advancement education or “evening classes” is probably the best known form of adult education. Social advancement education offers courses on the level of secondary education as well as on the level of short-term higher education. Course members are prepared to obtain a recognised diploma or certificate. The education offered is very diverse and extensive. A number of institutions offer classes in the “General Training” study area. In this way, course members get the chance to obtain a full degree in secondary education.

Special forms of adult education are adult basic education and Supervised Individual Study (B.I.S.): * Adult basic education addresses semi- and unskilled adults using a very specific method adapted to the target group. * Supervised Individual Study (B.I.S.) offers both written courses and courses via the internet, which the participant can study at home at his own pace. Participants are coached by an expert tutor.

Part-time art education offers easily accessible artistic training to youngsters and adults. Four study areas are distinguished: visual arts, music, word craft and dance. Each study area is subdivided into a number of options. All aspects of critically approaching and practising art are covered. Participants gain artistic insight and applicable theoretical knowledge and learn basic techniques. In the study area of Music no less than 70 different musical instruments can be studied. The Visual Arts study area has 30 types of work shops. Courses in Word craft and Dance are also to a large extent practice-based. Youngsters can thoroughly prepare themselves for tertiary art education. For adults it can be a meaningful leisure activity or a first step towards an amateur or professional career as an artist. Part-time art education offers everyone a chance to fully develop their own artistic personality.

Since September 2004, eight so-called Houses of Dutch have been opened in Flanders. In these houses adults who do not speak Dutch can get information on Dutch language courses. These houses are also responsible for the co-ordination of the intake, testing and orientation of adults towards the most suitable courses.

(1) Everyone who succeeded in the second year of the third stage or passed an entrance exam, can enrol in the 4th stage of vocational education. (2) Modular education is not split up into stages and years and is therefore not included in this scheme. (3) The former one-cycle courses at the colleges for higher education are transformed into professional bachelor courses from the academic year 2004-2005 on. (4) The former two-cycle courses at the colleges for higher education and the academic courses at the universities are transformed into academic bachelor courses and master courses from the academic year 2004-2005 on. These courses are transformed from an at least two-year candidate course and an at least one-year master course. Candidate degrees are not declared equal to bachelor degrees.
PUPILS
The number of pupils refer to the number of pupils and students enrolled on February 1, 2006. For non-university tertiary education and university education regular (first) enrolments in professional and academic bachelor courses, master courses and basic courses are registered. In social advancement education, part-time art education and B.I.S. (Supervised Individual Study) the number of enrolments is counted. The number of enrolments exceeds the number of physical persons, as a person may enrol in more than one course. In social advancement education the number of enrolments in training courses initiated within the reference period (February 1, 2004 till January 31, 2005) are counted. At the moment of publication the data for the reference period February 1, 2005 till January 31, 2006 were not yet available.
categories consist of administrative staff, the manual labour staff of the Community education, educational assistance staff and, paramedics, staff of Pupil Guidance Centers, inspectorate staff, pedagogical counselling staff, staff in boarding schools and the nursery nurses in nursery education. In elementary education the category of managing and teachin staff includes, as of the school year 2003-2004, the physical education teachers (in nursery education) and the extending care co-ordinators. In elementary education the number of administrative staff members in the category ‘other’ has risen considerably as from school year 2003-2004.
In order to avoid double counts, the pupils enrolled in special education due to long-term illness (special education type 5) are not included in the figures of special education (132 pupils in special nursery education, 203 pupils in special primary education and 240 pupils in special secondary education).
In the collective wage bargaining agreement IV it was agreed that ‘gesco’s’ employed in education, based on education convention 8285, would from January 1, 2002 be considered as contractual staff of unlimited duration. In previous statistical publications these staff members were not included, since they were not fully paid by the Education and Training policy area. Due to IT-related problems these contractual staff of unlimited duration could not be included in editions earlier than 2003-2004.
Pupils and students enrolled in French-language schools or in Frenchlanguage sections of Dutch-language schools coming under the authority of the Flemish authorities are not included in the figures either. In tertiary education courses in other languages than Dutch are included in the statistics.
The number of staff members is expressed by indicating the number of physical persons. Since the 2003-2004 edition replacements for periods shorter than one year are included. Physical persons are registered at the educational level and in the educational network where they have the largest teaching duties.
Since the academic year 2004-2005 Flemish tertiary education has courses leading to Bachelor and Master degrees. In Flanders Bachelor courses have a vocational or an academic orientation. The main objective of the academic bachelor courses is transfer to a master course. Master courses are also accessible to professional bachelor graduates if they have succesfully completed a bridging course designed for this particular transfer. Bachelor courses contain a minimum of 180 study points. Master courses contain a minimum of 60 study points. Since the academic year 2005-2006 the traditional year system is replaced by a more flexible system.
The number of staff members expressed in budgetary full-time equivalents is the sum of all partial tasks of all staff members (i.e. including replacements for periods shorter than one year). For nonuniversity tertiary education neither the teaching tasks nor the mandate reimbursements are included in the number of budgetary full-time equivalents. For university education guest professors and early retired staff members are included in the data in terms of staff members, but not in the budgetary full-time equivalents.
SCHOOLS
A school is an institution in which education is provided and which is managed by one school head. In social advancement education, the term “school” has been replaced by “center for adult education” as of September 1, 1999. 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
Statistics dealing with staff only register staff members either paid directly by the Education and Training policy area or whose wages are covered by the block-grant funding system in tertiary education. As a consequence, staff members benefiting from the pre-pension scheme (TBS55+) are included in the figures. Maintenance and technical staff in subsidised educational networks is not included. Subsidised contractual staff is not considered either, as these staff members are not fully paid by the Education and Training policy area. Data concerning staff relate to the month of January 2006, as known in June 2006. Data on staff in university education have been provided by the Flemish Interuniversity Council (Vl.I.R.) and relate to February 1, 2005. The data for the academic year 2005-2006 were not yet available at the time of publication. As far as the 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 principals and assistant-principals. Teaching staff teaches classes. The other staff
BUDGET
The budget is expressed in terms of ‘available policy credits’ which are annually estimated and registered in the (adapted) spending budget of the Flemish authorities. The policy credits contain the non-divided credits, the divided lock up credits, the variable credits, the lock up authorities and the additional credits of previous years, reduced by the payment credits and the expenditure for indebtedness. Available credits means that these credits also contain the share of Education and Training in the overall provisions for index and collective wage bargaining agreements and credit re-allocations. The data for 2006 relate to the credits after the first budgetary check. This figure does not yet contain the additional credits of previous years. Certain overall expenditures are allocated to the respective educational levels (e.g. education priority policy and investments). Without this adjustment, the picture of real expenditure would not be correct. For 2006 the actual figures are not yet available. As a point of reference the same allocation was taken as for 2005. The budgetary figures do not take into account the additional financial efforts of local authorities, nor the efforts of parents, schools and private companies. Expenditure per pupil/student is calculated on the basis of the number of pupils/students that can be financed. A pupil/student that can be financed is a pupil/student enrolled according to the regulations and who is given a weighing coefficient based on criteria like educational level, line of study, origin, … These financiable units determine the size of the operation means and the staff of each educational institution. All amounts are expressed in euros.
