This manual provides information to assist schools and school systems to collect student background information as required by Education Ministers. The purpose is to enable nationally comparable reporting of students' outcomes against the National Goals for Schooling in the Twenty-First Century. It involves the collection of information on students': (1) sex; (2) Indigenous status; (3) socioeconomic background; and (4) language background. The manual describes what is involved and what it means in practical terms for schools, school systems and testing agents. In brief, schools and school systems need to collect background information on relevant students using agreed questions. The resulting information is then supplied to testing agents so that it can be linked with students' test forms. The process of collecting student background information from parents began in 2005. The original edition of this manual, "Data Implementation Manual for Enrolments for the 2005 and 2006 School Years," was prepared to assist schools and systems in implementing collection of student background data. 2005 was regarded as a transition year with States, Territories and non-government schools being able to collect data via student test forms if it was not possible to implement collections from parents. However, Ministers agreed that from 2006 these data items were to be collected from parents. The 2007 edition of the manual is to be used by schools and school systems when enrolling students for the first time in the 2007 school year or when collecting information, via special data collection forms, on those students who are involved in national testing in 2007. Appended are: (1) Checklist for Existing Users; (2) Implementation Checklist for New users; (3) Background to the Implementation of Agreed Definitions for Student Background Characteristics; (4) Special Data Collection Forms; (5) Glossary; (6) Main Languages Spoken, by State/Territory; (7) Australian Standard Classification o Languages Coding Index; (8) Main Countries of Birth, by State/Territory; and (9) Standard Australian Classification of Countries (SACC) Coding Index.
