Education and Qualification

Education is one of the cornerstones of society today. The education, training, and qualifications modules provide extensive information on educational attainment and outcomes, the level of completed education and training, reasons for not completing education or training, educational goals, and much more, along with data on children’s skill development, for instance, whether they are able to speak in full sentences or use scissors.
