This is the standard list of subjects that Moodle uses to tag courses.  It is sourced from this [http://www.unesco.org/education/information/nfsunesco/doc/isced_1997.htm UNESCO ISCED 1997] list, since we couldn't find a better standard.
We tried to develop something based on the [http://www.unesco.org/education/information/nfsunesco/doc/isced_1997.htm UNESCO ISCED 1997] list (see history for this page), but the coding in use is arbitrary and messy (eg see the codes on [http://www.iaeste.fi/dman/Document.phx?documentId=ev22808143925094&cmd=download www.iaeste.fi] or [http://www.p-ng.si/public/doc/mednarodni/ISCED_Code.pdf www.p-ng.si] or [http://www.nscb.gov.ph/activestats/psced/browseRes.asp www.nscb.gov.ph])  No actualy official UNESCO codes seem to exist.


*0000 General programmes
By contrast, the classification codes in ASCED 2001 seem a lot better organised and coded, so I'm going to use that for now.

Forum discussion

We tried to develop something based on the UNESCO ISCED 1997 list (see history for this page), but the coding in use is arbitrary and messy (eg see the codes on www.iaeste.fi or www.p-ng.si or www.nscb.gov.ph) No actualy official UNESCO codes seem to exist.

By contrast, the classification codes in ASCED 2001 seem a lot better organised and coded, so I'm going to use that for now.

No changes have been made to the codes below.
