Data cards for CensusAtSchool 2025-2026 new

What are Data Cards?

Data cards are a way of storing data about a person, object, or non-physical entity. When using data cards each data card represents one person, object, or non-physical entity.

Data information for each person, object, or non-physical entity is recorded in the same way to make future analysis more straightforward. Information from data cards can also be recorded into a spreadsheet for analysis to be made using statistical software.

Data cards can provide secondary data, as many of the examples given here show.  They can also be used for collecting data, CensusAtSchool data collection information usually has a data card for students to record their measurements.
