1. Item 4 Overview of the 2016 AES & 2015 CVTS data collection
Eurostat F3
Education and Training Statistics Working Group – June 2018

2. Introduction (1)
2016 AES and 2015 CVTS data collection rounds are completed
2016 AES data online
October 2017: 21 countries = very timely
Other countries released as data became available
Only IE missing (derogation)
2015 CVTS data online
Majority of data: end of January 2018
Cost data: end of April 2018
Delays due to IT and resource problems

3. Introduction (2) Online tables – improved presentation
Comparable data for all available years
AES: 2007, 2011, 2016
CVTS: 2005, 2010, 2015
Detailed information on indicator calculations
National quality reports (via ESMS)
Today: overview on the two data collections
Main requirements (legislation)
Tables with key information
Focus on compliance issues
DSS to be informed in written form after ETS WG

4. 2016 AES – legal requirements
Coverage
Age 25-64, resident population
Data collection period (fieldwork)
01/07/2016 – 31/03/2017; derogations: IE, FR, FI
Data and metadata transmission
Microdata: 6 months after national data collection period; derogations: BE, MT
Quality report: 3 months after microdata transmission
Precision requirement
List of variables
Random selection of 2 NFE activities

5. 2016 AES – compliance issues
Coverage:
Resident population: in private HH in most countries
UK (England only)
Data collection period: DK, IT, HU (3)
Microdata transmission: DK, EE, FR, IT, CY, HU, SI (7)
QR transmission: BE, BG, DK, EE, FR, IT, CY, LT, PT, SI, SK, SE, UK (13)
Precision requirement: BG, NL, FI, SE, UK, NO (6)
Remark: Countries choose the calculation method  impact on the value
List of variables: overall OK, some filter problems
Random selection of 2 NFE: EE, SI (2)

6. 2015 CVTS – legal requirements

Quality report after 21 months: 30/09/2017
Sampling requirements
Business register, stratification by NACE and size
List of variables
Core variables: no missings; key variables: to be imputed

7. 2015 CVTS – compliance issues
Coverage:
NACE: no issues; persons employed: BE, ES (employees)
FR: metropolitan France
Reference year: no issues
Microdata transmission: EL, FR, IT, PT (4)
QR transmission: DE, EL, FR, IT, AT, PL, SI, SE, UK (9)
Sampling frame: ES (social security contribution account file)
Stratification: no issues
List of variables: overall OK, some issues with core and key variables
Quality concern: unit non-response in some countries

8. Next steps
AES 2022
New context: under framework regulation IESS
Changes: age 18-69, standardised variables, self- perceived skills
AES Task Force to prepare implementing act, i.e. list of variables, data collection period, etc.
First meeting in September 2018; 15 countries
CVTS 2020
Legislation: no changes planned (CVTS 2020 = CVTS 2015)
December 2018: workshop on best practices and quality improvements
All MS invited to contribute actively
