| Primary school | Compulsory stage | Primary school forms the first part of compulsory schooling. |
| Lower secondary | Compulsory stage | Lower-secondary education completes the compulsory-school statistical group. |
| Upper secondary | Later stage | Upper-secondary education follows compulsory schooling. |

How to read the Liechtenstein evidence
The class figure covers public schools, whereas the staff figure covers public and private schools, so their scopes remain separate.
The page does not calculate a pupil-per-class or pupil-per-staff ratio because the source populations do not have identical coverage.
