This section contains the most recent basic data available for all levels of the education and training system, in particular the number of institutions, students, and teachers, as well as a breakdown by provider and some key indicators.
Those educational institutions that specifically serve adult education are not included in this summary; a general overview is given in the relevant chapter, so that the categories of institutions providing publicly funded adult education can be found there.
