Comments
Guide for use:
The value domain can be linked to categories specified in the Level of Education classification of the Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED). This classification allows for data to be collected at a greater level of detail if desired. In this case valid codes from the ASCED should be used as the value domain.
