Definition
Metadata for IAC0417 table containing 2008 - 2022 data on the number of NSW government schools by school type.
-
School types include in this table are School for Specific Purposes (SSPs) and Environmental Education Centres (EECs).
-
Data tables from 2016 onwards report school size by number of students. The previous “school classification” is no longer applicable.
-
Schools for specific purposes (SSPs) are for students with specific needs. Most SSPs have permanent enrolments and include schools for students with intellectual (mild, moderate and severe) and physical disabilities, visual or hearing impairment, behaviour disorders or emotional disturbance, and students in juvenile justice centres. Some SSPs have no permanent enrolments because the children temporarily attending them are enrolled and counted in their own schools. These are mainly hospital schools.
