Notes:
(1) According to the 1962 Census this included all persons
5 years of age and over;
(2) The 1974 Population and Housing Census defined the School
Age Population as the population 5 to 24 years of age;
the 1978 School Survey used yet another definition resulting
in an even smaller group (6 to 18 years of age).
