Yes, we know that
statistics can be made to show whatever you want them to, but the
above chart is fact, created directly from figures sent to us by
Dr. Luoana D. Santarossa, Research officer, Educational Services,
North Ayrshire Council.
The chart on the
left assumes that there is a correlation between the number of
primary school children in any given year with the number of high
school children 6 years later, and extrapolates the last 5 years'
primary figures forward to estimate the high school roll for the
next five years. |
