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
