II DEFINITIONS ABBREVIATIONS M Male
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 2015. 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 2015 (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 2014 to 31 March 2015. 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 (121 pupils in special nursery education, 235 pupils in special primary education and 470 pupils in special secondary education on 1 February 2015). 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 2014-2015 school year relate to January 2015, as known in June 2015. University staff data were provided by the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR) and reflect the position on 1 February 2014. Data on the 2014-2015 academic year were not available at the time of publication (December 2015).
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. This kind of programme can be organised by secondary schools, centres for adult education and university colleges. The data for the associate degree in nursing are estimates. Since the school year 2009-2010, these data have no longer been reported in the tables on secondary education.
BUDGET
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. 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.
OTHER SECTIONS
The information relating to infrastructure, NARIC and the examination board relate to the calendar year 2014.
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. The school buildings of the Flemish Community were 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.
EXAMINATION BOARD
The Elementary Education Examination Board issues the certificate of elementary education. The Secondary Education Examination Board issues the diploma of secondary education. Since October 2012 the procedures of the examination board have changed. Exams are now permanently oganised.

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 2015, the actual data are not available yet, so either an estimate is used or the same breakdown as in 2014 is assumed. The cost per pupil is calculated on the basis of the number of pupils enrolled. These figures do not take account of the contributions by other (local) authorities, nor of the contributions by parents, schools and private companies.

(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 944 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) 42 of these 944 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 42 schools referred to in this footnote are reported under both full-time secondary education and part-time vocational education. (5) There are 107 centres for adult education. Some centres for adult education organise secondary adult education as well as higher vocational adult education.

(1) Staff in full-time and part-time secondary education. (2) The nursing courses at the 4th stage of vocational education became associate degree (HBO5) programmes in 2009-2010. (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 2015 were not yet available at the time of publication.

(1) Staff in full-time and part-time secondary education. (2) The nursing courses at the 4th stage of vocational education became associate degree (HBO5) programmes in 2009-10. (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 2015 were not yet available at the time of publication. (6) The number of full-time equivalents in January 2012 may be lower than normal due to a strike. This strike is not taken into account in the calculation of the budgetary full-time equivalents.

(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 ‘other’ 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 2014 were effectively enrolled in and paid for a course of study (enrolments) after they registered (registrations) at an information session. In 2014 there were 3,873 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 2014 but did not yet graduate have been included in the figures.
2. Succes rate by stage and type of secondary education in 2014 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.

(1) Five schools providing type 5 special education (long-term illness) are not included in this table. (2) 42 out of the 47 centres for part-time secondary education are attached to one of the 944 schools which provide full-time regular secondary education. 5 centres for part-time secondary education are autonomous.
2014-2015
Part-time vocational secondary education (1) The nursing courses at the 4th stage of vocational education became associate degree (HBO5) programmes in 2009-2010. These courses are allocated to the level of higher education. Associate degree courses can be organised by centres for adult education or by university colleges. The programme for the associate degree in nursing is the only exception: it is organised by institutions that organise full-time secondary education. These pupils are not taken into account.

The figures above reflect the number of unique candidates who in 2014 were effectively enrolled in and paid for a course of study (enrolments) after they registered (registrations) at an information session. In 2014 there were 3.873 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 2014 but did not yet graduate have been included in the figures.

Total amount of allowances granted (in euros)
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.

University colleges
(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.
