Notes:

 Percentages are of clients whose status is known (n).               

 (1) Last data available refer to 2005. Data do not cover Brussels Capital Region. 

 (2) The category "never went to school" is not available, due to the obligation to visit school at least for 9 years, it can be assumed, that nearly nobody (very few exceptions) has not visited school at least for four years. Higher education is categorised along with a different variable that asks more for professional education, however, there are only very few cases with completed higher education (following the ISCED categories). 

 (3) 22 cases excluded as they are still in education. This is not possible to include these cases according to the maximum attained level of education as these clients are currently still in education. Also, it is not possible to directly record the maximum level of completed education based upon a client being still in education and 16 years old in our information system. In Ireland a person may generally completes secondary level between the ages of 17-19, however there are instances where people have completed their leaving cert aged 16. If a client is older and has returned to education, it would be impossible to infer a maximum level of completed education, for example a client aged 50 may have returned to education but their the maximum level of education completed to date could be any of the following: never completed primary level, primary, or secondary level. 

 (4) Data refer to 2007.
