National Cohort Research Education with stable demographic background data of the PO and VO cohorts (from 01-09-2007)
Description
National Cohort Research Education (NCO)
The NCO microdata files were compiled by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) for the National Cohort Research Education (NCO). The NCO has been initiated and is funded by the National Educational Research Agency (NRO). For these files, existing register data from the social-statistical files (SSB) of CBS and existing educational records of the Education Basic Register (BRON) of the Education Implementation Service (DUO) have been combined.
This file contains the unchanging, stable demographic data at person level, of all persons from all pre-existing and supplemented Primary Education (PO) and Secondary Education (VO) backbone files.

### Methodology
This file is about stable data and therefore it is not necessary to create this file separately for each year, but one current file is sufficient. Every year, when a new cohort and thus new pupils are added, the stable background file is supplemented.
For privacy reasons, the variable BDATE is always the first day of the month.
### Population
The files contain the data of pupils who are or have been in (special) primary or secondary education, and thus appear in one of the backbone files.
