Terms First-year (CBS terms) – שנה ראשונה New student (new entrants in OECD terminology ) – New students New entrants into a level of education are enrollees who have never been included in the corresponding count of students for that level of education previously. Individuals who are returning to study at a level following a period of absence from studying at that same level are not considered to be new student (new entrants).

Re-entrants into a level of education סטודנטים חוזרים Re-entrants into a level of education are students who return to a level of education following a period of absence of at least one year from studying at that same level. Thus, reentrants were not included in the enrolment statistics in the previous reference year, but had been included during some year prior to the preceding reference year. Re-entrants can be further sub-classified as entrants who previously obtained a certification at that level (who are referred to returnees to a second programme) or as entrants who previously did not obtain a certification at that level (who are referred to as returnees to a first programme).
