During the review process which led to the 2011 revision of ISCED, it was decided that the fields of education should be examined in a separate process to establish an independent but related classification which could be updated according to a different frequency, if appropriate, from any future revision to the levels of education and educational attainment. The classifications of levels and fields will remain part of the same family of classifications. Accordingly, this new classification will be referred to as the ISCED Fields of Education and Training (ISCED-F).
