1. – 3. See tabled paper no.
WA public schools are not required to upload Year 12 student enrolments in Vocational and Education Training (VET) qualifications and VET units of competency to the School Curriculum and Standards Authority until 22 June 2016. There could be courses being undertaken by some Year 12 students in these schools that are not recorded in the tabled paper. For Year 10 and 11 students, this enrolment information is required to be uploaded by 12 August 2016.
4. 3,975
5. 1,534
These figures reveal the number of secondary public school students in the South West electoral region who were enrolled in at least one unit of competency in 2015 from a VET course delivered as part of their school education studies.
The data includes students who enrolled in partial VET courses – that is, did not enrol in sufficient units of competency to complete the VET course that year. It is also common for students’ VET courses to run over Years 11 and 12.
