UOE revision – process
UOE data collection revised in 1998 (to introduce ISCED97)
A major revision around 2005 already foreseen in 1998.
Eurostat consulted users and data providers through questionnaire (September) and the UOE subgroup meeting (October)
OECD consulted their users (also through the INES TG – November).
UIS launched consultation which is ongoing
In December and January, U-O-E drafted proposal
Balance between:
the numerous additional user needs and huge data gaps identified
the very few cases of current data considered superfluous
Objective: satisfy users with the minimum burden on data providers

ENRL
The break-down on programme orientation has been harmonised between sheets to general – pre-vocational/vocational
Enrolments in adult education programmes (national definitions) reported in ENRL1 and ENRL1A reported separately in new ENRL1_adult and ENRL1A_adult sheets
Enrolments in ISCED 6 kept
ENRL3 and ENRL4 kept (tables needed by UIS)
ENRL2 split into two questionnaires – alignment to finance and alignment to personnel respectively
ENRL6, 7 and 8 changed to better capture student mobility (see Document ESTAT/D5/2005-ETS-06.02)

ISCMAP
Objectives:
- describe fully the national education system (ISCMAP reference also for users outside UOE)
- have a complete metadata collection and management system
Mapping of programmes which:
are in the UOE (in the UOE data col),
should be in the UOE (but are not included for contingent reasons)
could be in the UOE (borderline cases)
and other programmes useful to describe the national educational system in all its dimensions (e.g. formal vocational programmes more than 90% work based)
Changes:
Mapping also of qualifications and of institutions
Introduction of a ‘identity’ number of programmes
Information on programmes included or not in finance data
