* Part-time students are equated to full-time students by the application of certain standard equivalence factors which take account of the duration of courses. Whereas at Leith Nautical College—the length of courses other than full-time courses varies significantly from that used in determining the standard equivalence factors, the total of full-time equivalent students may be artificially high.
† Whole-time staff on 29 September 1978, is those employed for the whole day on the day of the census.
‡ Excludes a significant number of students who took in-service training courses.
