Past trends and projected future changes in the composition of enrollment across levels of education and regions of the country, as well as between public and private schools, indicate the amount of resources the nation's schools will require. This report issued by the National Center for Education Statistics indicates that total (public and…

Projections are presented of what will happen if current trends in enrollments in New Jersey continue and current policies are maintained. Enrollments are projected to 1990 for full-time and part-time students in three collegiate sectors. The projective methodology is a ratio technique that minimizes data requirements and eliminates the need for…

This report presents projections of school enrollment by age, sex, and grade level to the year 2000, taking into account the latest population projections prepared by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The figures apply to fall enrollments of the civilian noninstitutional population 5 to 34 years old in elementary school, high school, and college. The…

The demographic analysis of the educational process has been of great assistance to the work of educational planners, who must continually estimate the size of future student enrollments at different levels of the educational structure. (Author)

The rate of increase of Illinois junior college enrollment has decreased for the past several years. One reason for this may lie in the fact that the consumption of a service has its greatest rate of increase in the early stages of the supply of the service. As the unmet demand for it becomes satisfied, additional consumption decreases, approaches…

The school enrollment projections presented in this report are based on the application of a modified version of the cohort survival model. Retention ratios from grade to grade were analyzed for six prior years and the trend extended over the 19-year period from 1974-75 to 1992-93. Actual birth figures, population estimates, and projected New York…

Older students (those beyond the age of 24) represented nearly 40 percent of all college and university enrollment in 1988, compared with 33 percent in 1974. Two sets of projections are suggested to show that, by 1995, the share of older students may increase somewhat, but students in the "traditional" age range (less than 25 years old) will still…

Information on 14 groups of private and parochial schools was collected, although the authors emphasize that their research was not exhaustive. The results show…

Shifts in college enrollments until 1985 are discussed and attributed to a number of factors, among them: differences between states, birthrate changes, and between-state migration.

This report provides a summary of enrollment projections for the University of Hawaii (UH) system, which includes three university and seven community college campuses.

This report describes the development and application of a model to study the movement of students in, through, and out of higher education in Australia. The model is designed to project the number of students, graduates, and dropouts by age, gender, and broad field of study. The model also estimates the probability of a student completing a…

This report presents information on actual and projected headcount enrollment for the University of Hawaii Community Colleges (UHCC). Highlights include: (1) total headcount for the UHCC measured 24,909 in Fall 1998, virtually unchanged from the previous fall; (2) enrollment peaked at 27,905 in Fall 1994, and then declined 10.8% over the next…

Tables, charts, and graphs outline the current enrollment status of four-year public institutions of higher education and the community college system. They also provide a perspective of trends over the past several years of selected enrollment elements such as entrances directly from high school, veteran enrollment, part-time enrollment, males…

The Virginia Community College System (VCCS) conducted a study of city and county population penetration rates, or the percentages of residents served by VCCS colleges. Using total in-state enrollment for fall 1997, the study found that the percentage of Virginia's population served by the VCCS increased to 1.82%, returning the system to the…

This four-section report prepared by the Washington State Office of Financial Management examines the 1983-85 biennium budget forecasts for public common schools, total population and student movement in relation to economic cycles (over the past 2 decades), trends in public and private school enrollment (over the past 2 decades), and school…
