The statistic follow common European guidelines in the manual UOE data collection on formal education (UOE2020). The statistic is fully comparable across time and countries for the entire published time period. Previously the reporting burden to UNESCO, OECD and Eurostat was acquired from the National Agency of IT and Learning under the Ministry of Children and Education.
Comparability - geographical
The statistic is made in accordance with the guidelines in the manual UOE data collection on formal education (UOE2020), which is made in collaboration with UNESCO, OECD and Eurostat. Data is published by both OECD and Eurostat. The statistic is fully international comparable with the other reporting countries.
Comparability over time
The statistic is complied following the same method in the entire time period from 2016 onwards in the StatBank. Data prior to 2016 can be found in the international databases and were transmitted by the National Agency of It and Learning. Thus, comparisons with data prior to 2016 needs to be interpreted with caution, as the method for the published data by Statistics Denmark for 2016 and onward can differ from the method applied for earlier transmitted years.
Coherence - cross domain
The majority of data originates from the general government finances, which are included in the National Accounts, why there is a link to this. The difference between the inventories is caused by differences in the UOE classification and the concepts of National Accounts.
Coherence - internal
The statistic is internally consistent, which is ensured by consolidations of transactions and application of the concepts of national accounts.
