Vocationally trained persons include those whocompleted the requirements for vocational training at a trade school, business school, or other kinds of institutions forthe purpose of occupation. Table 8.13 summarizes data on persons with vocational training for Chuuk State in 1980,1994 and 2000. About 5 to 7 percent of all adults aged 15 years and over had completed vocational training in the lastthree censuses, a decline of 2 percentage points since 1980. The peak of vocational training was at 12 percent in all theyears observed. For 1980, this was among age-group 25-34 years, whereas for 1994 and 2000, it was among agegroups 35-44 and 45 to 44 years, suggesting that the population in the older age groups had more opportunity to pursuevocational training and skills development.Table 8.13: Vocational Training by Age Group, Chuuk State: 1980, 1994 and 2000Age groupCensus year Total 15-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65+1980Total 16 to 64 years 17,938 6,444 5,057 2,551 2,185 1,701 ...Percent Completed 7.7 4.9 11.6 10.4 8.1 3.5 ...1994Total 15+ years 29,068 10,515 6,642 5,312 2,754 1,971 1,874Percent Completed 6.9 2.8 7.8 11.8 11.7 8.4 3.32000Total 15+ years 31,587 11,608 7,149 5,418 3,785 1,682 1,945Percent Completed 5.6 1.7 5.6 9.0 11.9 8.9 3.8Source: 1980 TTPI Census, Table 22; 1994 FSM Census, Table P42; 2000 FSM Census, Table P2-13.ConclusionsSchool attendance as well as educational attainment in Chuuk State has been improving for some time. Schoolattendance increased from about 10,200 in 1973 to about 17,600 in 1994 but dropped slightly to 17,000 in 2000.Among the population 25 years and over, the proportion with no schooling decreased from about 35 to about 18percent while the proportion with at least a high school education increased from about 16 to 34 percent from 1980 to2000. The difference between males and females in educational attainment, though significant for the older generation,became negligible for the younger generations.On the other hand it has also been shown that the proportion dropping out was quite high throughout Chuuk Statestarting from the age of 15 years. This was due in part to dropouts beyond the junior high school level of education andlack of access to high school.72 Chuuk Branch Statistics Office, Division of Statistics, FSM Department of Economic Affairs
