DIGEST OF EDUCATION STATISTICS – 2012

FOREWORD

This is the twenty ninth issue of a yearly publication on education statistics prepared

by Statistics Mauritius.

Tables presented in this report relate to the Republic of Mauritius and cover latest

available information on pre-primary, primary, secondary, technical and vocational,

tertiary as well as education in specialised institutions.

The data have been compiled on the basis of information collected through surveys

conducted in 2012 among educational institutions, as well as from the Mauritius

Examinations Syndicate and the Tertiary Education Commission.

It is hoped that the data assembled in this report will be of valuable help to the public

in general, particularly to education planners and policy makers. The preparation of

this report has necessitated the collaboration of the Ministry of Education and Human

Resources, the Central Information Systems Division, educational institutions, and

several other organisations. Their co-operation and assistance are herewith gratefully

acknowledged.

Definitions of indicators

(1) Apparent Intake Rate

Number of new entrants in Standard I in primary schools as a percentage of the population aged 5

years.

(2) Gender Parity Index (GPI)

Ratio of the GER for female to the GER for male. It measures the relative education participation of

boys and girls. A GPI of 1 reflects equal enrolment rate for boys and girls, whereas a GPI greater

than 1 shows disparity in favour of girls.

(3) Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER)

Number of pupils enrolled in a given level of education, regardless of age, expressed as a

percentage of the population in the relevant age-group:

- 4 - 5 years for pre-primary - 6 – 11 years for primary - 12 – 19 years for secondary - 20 – 24 years for tertiary.

(4) Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) for pre-primary

Number of pupils aged 4 to 5 years enrolled in pre-primary schools, expressed as a percentage of

the population in the same age-group.

(5) Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) for primary

Number of pupils aged 6 to 11 years enrolled in primary schools, expressed as a percentage of the

population in the same age-group.

(6) Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) for secondary

Number of pupils aged 12 to 19 years enrolled in secondary schools, expressed as a percentage of

the population in the same age-group.

(7) Pupil/ Teacher Ratio The average number of pupils per teacher at a given level of education in a given year. (8) Primary Completion Rate The ratio of the number of students successfully completing the last year of primary school

(Standard VI) in a given year to the total number of children aged 11 years in the population.

‐ 10 ‐

(9) Transition Rate The proportion of pupils progressing from the primary cycle (i.e Std VI) to the secondary cycle

(Form I and Year I Prevoc), expressed as a percentage of the number of pupils enrolled at Std VI in

primary school.

(10) Promotion Rate The proportion of pupils who successfully completed a grade and proceeded to the next higher

grade the following year, expressed as a percentage.

(11) Repetition Rate The proportion of pupils who repeat a grade once or twice. (12) Dropout Rate The proportion of pupils who leave the system without completing a given grade in a given school

year. This rate shows the extent at which pupils abandon schooling.

A pupil at a given level of education in a given year will, in the following year, either get promoted

to the next higher grade, or repeat the same grade or drop out of the school system.

Therefore, Promotion Rate + Repetition Rate + Dropout Rate = 100

Annex A

Census of Schools - Methodology

Introduction Statistics Mauritius conducts a school census in March every year in the Republic of

Mauritius.

Objective The main objective of the census is to collect reliable and updated data on the

functioning of schools, teaching and learning conditions for effective policy and

decision-making in the education sector. The questionnaires have been designed to

collect information at school level on:

• available infrastructure and facilities;

• enrolment;

• examination results;

• ICT facilities, and

• teaching and non-teaching personnel.

Coverage The survey covers all public and private pre-primary, primary, secondary and

specialised institutions as well as all public-funded vocational training institutions in

the Republic of Mauritius. They numbered 1,508 in 2012.

Data collection Data are collected from schools through mail questionnaires. For the 2012 round of

the census, relevant questionnaires with a covering letter and instructions were mailed

to all schools during the last week of February 2012. The reference date for the survey

was 1st March 2012. The schools had to submit the completed questionnaires by mail

within a given deadline.

Response rate A close monitoring of response from the schools are done by staff of the Statistics

Unit at the Ministry of Education and Human Resources. Reminders are sent to all

schools which do not respond by a given deadline. Those which still do not respond

after phone calls and reminders are visited. In 2012, of the 1,508 schools, returns

could not be obtained from 6 schools only, all of them in the pre-primary sector.

Editing and Coding The editing and coding exercise are done by a team of Statistical Officers. The

questionnaires are scrutinized to identify missing and inconsistent data. The data are

also checked against previous year's questionnaires. Schools which report major

changes or missing and inconsistent data are contacted by phone and any necessary

corrections made. The questionnaires are then coded for data entry.

Data Processing Data capture for the 2012 School Census was performed by the Central Information

Systems Division (CISD) of the Ministry of Information and Communication

Technology using the Integrated Microcomputer Processing System (IMPS) software.

Questionnaires were entered twice by two officers to ensure that there was no input

error. Data validation and cleaning were then done by Statistical Officers using the

same software. Once all the data files were cleaned, IMPS was used for tabulation.
