Variables in this dataset:

   Official entrance age to early childhood education (years)
QoG Code: opri_oaeece

Age at which students would enter a given programme or level of education assuming they start at the official entrance age for the lowest level of education, study full-time throughout and progressed through the system without repeating or skipping a grade. The theoretical entrance age to a given programme or level is typically, but not always, the most common entrance age.
