  1. Volume measures of education in the Norwegian National Accounts

  2. Education in Norwegian National Accounts Four industries in NACE education: • Local government educational services • Central government educational services • Private NPISH • Private educational services, market producers

  3. Data sources for education • Primary and lower secondary education • The information system for primary and lower secondary education (GSI – Grunnskolenes informasjonssystem) • KOSTRA "Municipality-State-Reporting ” • Upper secondary education • KOSTRA "Municipality-State-Reporting ” • Tertiary education • The database for statistics on higher education (DBH) • Adult education • The information system for primary and lower secondary education

  4. Primary and lower secondary education • Education is given in ordinary and special schools. Costs per pupil are much higher in special schools. • The volume indicator is the number of pupil hours • number of hours spent at being thought • The volume indicator is weighted by the adjusted gross operating expenditure from the previous year

  5. Upper secondary education • General theoretical education and vocational training divided into 15 courses • For education provided by the county authorities volume measures are based on full year equivalents for each course • a convertion of the number of pupils in proportion to the share of the course they are attending • weighted by the adjusted gross operating expenditure at course level from the previous year • Volume indices for central government and private NPISH are based on number of pupils

  6. Tertiary education • Tertiary education consists of courses at universities and university colleges. • Number of students by institution are used as volume indicator. Each universitity is further stratified by groups of faculties according to unit costs. • For universities and state university colleges cost data on institution and faculty level are available and used to weight the volume indicator.

  7. Adult education • Volume indicies are based on teacher hours • the total amount of teaching hours offered by the teachers during one school year • We assume the same volume growth for market producers and NPISH due to lack of data • Production in current prices is dominated by the local government and market producers (adult education associations)

  8. Aggregated volume indicies by industry • In 2003 output method gives lower volume growth in all industries except for NPISH • In 2004 output method gives higher volume growth in local goverment and for the market producers

  9. Concluding remarks • Further evaluation of our calculation methods and data sources • Statistics Norway is developing detailed account statistics for NPISH providing educational services • In the longer term introduce quality adjustment in the calculations of the volume indicators
