The number of minor awards when disaggregated is approx. double the number of paper certificates issued for component awards, which means that a component award lists an average of two minors attained. The breakdown by gender, age, region (and centre type, fields of learning further on) is based on the total number of awards (component awards disaggregated). The nomenclature for award types refers to major awards as 'certificates', minors are classified as 'component', special purpose as 'specific purpose' and supplemental as 'supplemental'. The term for major awards (certificates) is not to be confused with paper certificates. All awards are also referred to as certificates in terms of the paper (certificate) issued to the award holder.
