Proposes an accounting system that uses students' time in class as a basis for allocating space. A printout of information about an English department is used as an example. (MLF)

The techniques used by the Enrollment Management group at Boston College in reviewing enrollment through the year, predicting the attrition rate, and determining the number of new students to admit are outlined, and the data needs and manipulation are discussed. (MSE)

Presented are enrollment projections for primary and secondary school students in England through the 1980s and beyond in the light of information on the school population and births up to 1981 and of alternative forecasts of births in future years. Projections of the numbers leaving school are also discussed. (Author/IS)

Census projections, broken down according to age groups, reveal that the school age population for ages 5-9 bottomed out in 1982 and is now increasing; ages 10-13 will bottom out in 1986; and ages 14-17 will bottom out in 1990. School districts should prepare accordingly for increases in elementary enrollment. (TE)
