| Context: |
In OECD's PISA a student is defined as any individual participating in educational services covered by the data collection. The number of students enrolled refers to the number of individuals (head count) who are enrolled within the reference period and not necessarily to the number of registrations. Each student enrolled is counted only once. (Education at a Glance, OECD, Paris, 2002, Glossary)
