Percent of pupils and apprentices, 25 years or older, who started in upper secondary education five years ago with no activity three years ahead of starting time, and who passed upper secondary education during stipulated time. Everybody who is 25 years or older is counted as an adult, and starting time is calculated independent of level of education. To limit the content for "new" adult participants, the claim is that they will have no activity three years ahead of starting time. The starting population does not include candidates for experience-based trade verification. Percent of pupils and apprentices, 25 years or older, who passed upper secondary education during stipulated time = (Participants who passed upper secondary education during stipulated time)/(Participants who started in upper secondary education five years ago)*100 Numerator: Participants, 25 years or older, who started in basic courses in upper secondary education stipulated time, who passed upper secondary education during three years. Denominator: Participants, 25 years or older, who started upper secondary education five years ago. Source: National Education Database (NUDB).
