Do we have to keep separate records of all ISCED groups (8) or is it enough to gather information in the three groups (ISCED 1-2, ISCED 3-4 and ISCED 5-8)?

For the purpose of reporting common output indicators it is enough to record the educational level of participants as falling in one of the three categories required for indicators (ISCED 1-2, ISCED 3-4 and ISCED 5-8). However, it may be useful to maintain in the monitoring system information on the specific ISCED level of the participant, for example, to support the use of programme-specific indicators based on particular education levels or for evaluation purposes (see section 5.5.1 of the Annex D of the EC guidance for further details).
