* For 2014/15 schools used the Post-Primary Online Database (P-POD) for the first time to generate student returns to the department.
A small number of schools omitted exemptions granted for the first time in 2014/15. The department estimates that the number omitted is in the region of 400. However please note that these exemptions will be included in student returns for 2015/16.
