What P includes

• This major section encompasses education at all levels and for all professions, delivered through various communication channels—whether oral or written, via radio and television, or through other media. It includes educational programs provided within formal school systems, adult education initiatives, and other learning frameworks. This scope extends to military schools and colleges, educational facilities within correctional institutions, and more, covering both public and private sectors. It also includes special education for children with physical or mental disabilities.
• The classification within this major section follows the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) 1997.
• Specifically, educational activities corresponding to ISCED level 0 are classified under major group 856; ISCED level 1 under major group 851; ISCED levels 2 and 3 under major group 852; and ISCED levels 4, 5, and 6 under major group 853. If an educational institution offers instruction across multiple levels, the highest level provided serves as the basis for classification. For example, an institution that offers pre-primary, primary, and general secondary education is classified under class 8521.
• This major section also includes introductory instruction related to sports and recreational activities—such as bridge or golf—as well as activities that support education.
