global education digest 2003Comparing Education Statistics Across the World

UNESCO Institute for Statistics, Montréal, 2003

UNESCO

The constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)was adopted by 20 countries at the London Conference in November 1945 and entered into effect on4 November 1946. The Organization currently has 189 Member States.

The main objective of UNESCO is to contribute to peace and security in the world by promoting collab-oration among nations through education, science, culture and communication in order to fosteruniversal respect for justice, the rule of law, and the human rights and fundamental freedoms thatare affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, bythe Charter of the United Nations.

To fulfill its mandate, UNESCO performs five principal functions: 1) prospective studies on education,science, culture and communication for tomorrow’s world; 2) the advancement, transfer and sharingof knowledge through research, training and teaching activities; 3) standard-setting actions for thepreparation and adoption of internal instruments and statutory recommendations; 4) expertisethrough technical co-operation to Member States for their development policies and projects; and5) the exchange of specialized information.

UNESCO is headquartered in Paris, France.

The UNESCO Institute for Statistics

The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the statisical office of UNESCO and is the UN depository forglobal statistics in the fields of education, science and technology, culture and communication.

UIS was established in 1999. It was created to improve UNESCO’s statisical programme and to developand deliver the timely, accurate and policy-relevant statistics needed in today’s increasingly complexand rapidly changing social, political and economic environments.

UIS is based in Montréal, Canada.

FOREWORD

The knowledge, skills and capabilities needed to meet the chal-lenges of the 21st century depend upon education systems that dis-tribute learning opportunities equitably and that make efficientuse of human and financial resources. Accurate, reliable and timelyeducation statistics are fundamental to enabling education systemsto achieve these aims.

For many countries still struggling to break out of widespreadpoverty and to achieve universal primary education, statistics providea measure of progress, enabling them to set priorities for usingscarce resources. For more developed countries, education statisticshelp governments to respond to the ever-quickening pace of glob-alisation, technological advance and economic change.

The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the guardian of interna-tional education statistics. At the heart of the Institute’s mandate isassistance to Member States to collect, analyse and disseminateinternationally-comparable education indicators that inform policiesand monitor their outcomes. Since its creation in 1999, the UIS hascarried out far-reaching consultations with both national and inter-national users and producers of education statistics to identify infor-mation needs and to develop a strategy to meet these needs. In addi-tion, the UIS has led a series of technical workshops across the globewhich have raised awareness of data collection methodologies andtools, and provided a common framework for harmonising nationaleducation data.

As a result, response rates to the UNESCO questionnaire haveimproved and, very importantly, the indicators are becoming moretimely and comparable. However, the UIS is still facing many chal-lenges. One of these is to consolidate the quality of existing educa-tion data to ensure that they are better aligned with today’s indi-cators. This is vital for the accurate monitoring of progress. Anotherchallenge is to incorporate education data from different sources to

achieve better estimates of missing data, whichrepresent a considerable gap in our knowledge.For the first time, as part of the WEI programme,the UIS together with its partners will soon be col-lecting, as a complement to aggregated adminis-trative data, individual- and school-level data thatwill inform national policies based on a compara-tive approach.

This new annual digest is a solid first step in theprocess of making data more useful, bringing to-gether data on education systems throughout theworld on a comparable basis. Data are collected andpresented according to the International StandardClassification of Education (ISCED97). This compar-ative framework allows countries to benchmarktheir progress against neighbouring or similar coun-tries and provides a lens to interpret the outcomesof education reforms from different parts of theworld. The digest reports data for the school years1999/2000 and 2000/2001 and the accompanyingCD-Rom includes data for 1998/1999.

In what will become a regular feature, the digestalso presents analysis of a current topic relevant tothe state of global education statistics. In this issuethe focus is upon measures of primary access, partic-ipation and completion, which comprise the mainindicators used to monitor progress towards inter-national development goals.

The data found here are the product of the coop-eration and commitment of national statisticiansworldwide, whose valuable contributions and com-ments have greatly enhanced our understanding oftheir education systems.

THE STATE OF GLOBAL EDUCATION STATISTICS

By 2015...all children...will have access to and complete free and com-pulsory primary education of good quality.

[Dakar Framework for Action, 2000]

The focus of basic education must, therefore, be on actual learningacquisition and outcome, rather than exclusively upon enrolment,continued participation in organized programmes and completionof certification requirements.

[Article IV, Jomtien Declaration, 1990]

More than a decade ago, the Education for All (EFA) movement wasborn of the notion that access to basic education of good quality isa fundamental human right. Numerous studies have shown thateducational participation can result in improvements in individualliving conditions, such as better health or increased income. At anational level, higher levels of educational attainment among thepopulation have economic and social benefits for both individualsand society as a whole.

It is because education is so important in and of itself that it is recog-nised as a human right, as witnessed not only by the Dakar Frame-work for Action but by internationally binding agreements, such asthe Convention on the Rights of the Child. Measures of this right mustaddress access to quality learning opportunities that lead to theacquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes.

While marking the progress that has been achieved,recent EFA assessments have highlighted the diffi-culties that many countries, particularly those inAfrica and South Asia, have encountered in tryingto reach these goals. Global estimates by theUNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) indicate thatsome 104 million children of primary school age arenot enrolled in school. Improving education willrequire new efforts to expand access to primaryeducation and to improve educational quality andlearning outcomes. The types of indicators used tomonitor progress thus must respond to a broadrange of policy questions.

The EFA goals represent a broad and comprehen-sive set of education-related aims, ranging fromearly childhood development through to adultlearning and literacy. One of the flagship goals isthe attainment of Universal Primary Education(UPE) in all countries of the world. It proposes thatall children have the opportunity to participate inprimary education where they should acquire basicskills, such as reading, writing and numeracy. Gov-ernments have committed themselves to ensuringthat all children have access to and complete pri-mary education by 2015 while international agen-cies seek to monitor progress towards UPE.

The World Education Conference in Dakar in 2000 chosesix main goals as the follow-up to the Education for All2000 Assessment. These goals include expanding early-childhood care and education, promoting learningopportunities for young people and adults, raising adultliteracy, and improving all aspects of education qualityso that recognized and measurable learning outcomesare achieved by all.

With respect to Universal Primary Education, there arethree main goals:

Goal 2: Free and compulsory education of good qual-ity. Ensure that by 2015 all children, particularly girls,children in difficult circumstances and those belongingto ethnic minorities, have access to and are able tocomplete primary education that is free, compulsoryand of good quality.

Goal 5: Eliminate gender disparities. Eliminate genderdisparities in primary and secondary education by 2005and achieve gender equality in education by 2015, witha focus on ensuring girls’ full and equal access to andachievement in basic education of good quality.

Goal 6: Enhance educational quality. Improve all as-pects of the quality of education and ensure excellence

of all so that recognized and measurable learning out-comes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, num-eracy and essential life skills.

An assessment of the state of education was conductedin 2000 (the EFA 2000 Assessment) using 18 indicators.Since then efforts have been focused on consolidatingthe original set of indicators into a core set of 15 forwhich all countries should be able to provide the dataon an annual basis. The UNESCO Institute for Statisticsis responsible for monitoring EFA goals based on datacollected from Member States and the provision ofaccurate and timely comparative data for the global EFAMonitoring Report.

The Millennium Development Compact incorporates 8goals and a total of 48 monitoring indicators. The maingoals and indicators related to education focus on Uni-versal Primary Education and draw upon similar EFAgoals:

Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education.

Target 3: Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere,boys and girls alike will be able to complete a full courseof primary schooling.

The need for a wide range of indicators

The 1990 Jomtien Declaration points out that pro-gress must be measured using outcomes ratherthan concentrating exclusively on access to educa-tion and progression through the education system,which assume that learning acquisition is actuallytaking place. Direct measures of learning outcomesshow us that, particularly in some less developedcountries, the quality of education provision is poorand often pupils do not achieve basic literacy, evenafter completing primary education. Thus, moni-

Monitoring indicators: Net enrolment ratio in primaryeducation; proportion of pupils starting grade 1 whoreach grade 5; literacy rates among 15 to 24-year-olds.

Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women.

Target 4: Eliminate gender disparity in primary andsecondary education preferably by 2005 and to all levelsof education no later than 2015.

Monitoring indicators: Ratios of girls to boys in primary,secondary and tertiary education; ratio of literate fe-males to literate males aged 15–24 years.

The World Bank’s Fast Track Initiative aims to concen-trate donor efforts on the achievement of Universal Pri-mary Education for a selected group of countries whichhave been judged to be able to achieve universalprimary education and have met the criteria of havingprepared realistic national plans. The World Bank hasused a range of indicators to monitor progress of thisprogramme, which will result in strong partnership toassist these countries in implementing their plansincluding the release of additional funds for educa-tion. The indicative framework consists of the followingindicators:

The attention given to education statistics in theinternational community has increased sharply inthe last few years. In addition to renewed effortsto monitor national progress through the Educationfor All movement (www.unesco.org/education/efa),the Millennium Development Compact of 2000(www.developmentgoals.org) included educationas a key part of a broad set of development goals(see Box 1). The UNESCO Institute for Statisticsprovides education data for both initiatives.

• Average annual teacher salary (as a multiple of percapita GDP);

• Pupil-teacher ratio;• Spending on inputs other than teachers (as a per-

centage of primary education recurrent spending);• Average repetition rate;• Unit construction cost of school/classroom;• Government revenues (as a percentage of GDP);• Education recurrent spending (as a percentage of

government revenues);• Primary education recurrent spending (as a

percentage of total education recurrent spending);and

• Private enrolments (as percentage of total).

The UIS is in discussions with the World Bank to ensurethat, as far as possible, the cross-nationally comparabledata take account of the needs of the Fast Track Initia-tive and that countries are supported to provide theadditional information required for their own nationalpurposes. Of course, the UIS remit extends beyond theaims of this initiative, and as explained above, mustprovide a wider range of indicators to cover all of theEFA goals.

toring progress in terms of access, progression andcompletion needs to be accompanied by strategiesto better measure learning outcomes in countries.

The development and implementation of new indi-cators require time and national expertise, andthese resources have to be balanced against thosethat support more immediate requirements fordata. Trade-offs are inevitable, especially whenmany countries are still struggling to produce eventhe most basic monitoring information about theiredu-cational systems.

At present, there are great pressures for educationstatistics to monitor current trends, and nationalpolitical mobilisation and high-stakes donor initia-tives hang in the balance. Thus a parallel strategyis needed that improves and exploits educationdata which are more readily available and compa-rable, primarily on participation, progression andcompletion, while at the same time, advances anagenda for the direct assessment of outcomes in lessdeveloped countries.

While measures of access, participation or comple-tion are not measures of achievement, they do pro-vide very valuable information about primaryeducation in a country, and once children are inschool, about some of the characteristics of educa-tion systems that are amenable to policy change.This information can inform policies that createmore effective, equitable and efficient educationalsystems.

Policymakers need a range of robust indicators thatprovide different types of information on access,participation and completion that are comparablebut also sensitive to change in various national con-texts. National education policy presents complex-ities that can only be addressed by a comprehensive‘toolkit’ of indicators which addresses all aspects ofnational policy, while including the agreed inter-nationally-harmonised indicators to allow bench-marking against other countries. It is vital to ensurethat each of the measures best meet the needs for

data quality (e.g. reliability, accuracy, timeliness),whether they refer to enrolment, progression orcompletion.

The principal indicators for monitoring progresstowards Universal Primary Education relate toaccess and participation (net intake and enrolmentrates) and progression or completion (survival ratesor gross intake rate into last year of primary educa-tion). They all provide important perspectives intothe coverage and functioning of education systems.All of these indicators are presented in this reportand can be used to present a rich picture of accessand participation in education, not only at the pri-mary level but from pre-primary to tertiary. Thepolicy vision on progress towards Universal PrimaryEducation should not be limited to one or two indi-cators.

There is a danger in drawing too many conclusionsfrom changes in a single indicator or from its rela-tionship to other variables, whether a net enrol-ment rate or some measure of completion. Theoriginal 18 EFA indicators represented differentaspects of the education process, and all of theseaspects are considered important to the overallvision of EFA. The inter-relationship of differentparts of the education system is also important.Thus, indicators developed to monitor other EFAgoals are relevant for UPE. For example, indicatorson participation in pre-primary education help toestablish whether children have received prepara-tion, which may enable better achievement inprimary education, while indicators related to theliteracy of young adults help to establish whetherthe knowledge of basic skills has been sustainedafter completion of primary education.

In reflecting on the lessons from monitoring EFA inthe 1990s, a general perception was that greaterpolitical attention was paid towards increasing thequantity (i.e. expanding access) rather than thequality of education. As a result, it was felt by somethat indicators based on enrolment rates, eithernet or gross, received disproportionate attention in

terms of measuring progress and that this came atthe expense of results of other key EFA indicators,which included the progression and completion ofschooling, the quality of education and learningoutcomes. The simple lesson is that a single measurewill never appropriately cover progress towardsUPE and a more comprehensive approach is neces-sary. Each indicator has a distinct set of advantagesand limitations that should be carefully weighed.

For example, the welcome emphasis on indicatorsof outcome should not lead us to overlook the useof indicators of access. With over 104 million school-age children not enrolled in school, intake rateshave an immediate significance for policymakers atnational and international level. ‘Out-of-school chil-dren’ are often concentrated in particular socialgroups or remote areas. Low intake for particulargroups should still remain a top national priorityeven where overall national policy is focusing oneducational quality and outcomes. Problems ofgender disparity and discrimination often beginwith access to schooling. Once girls are able toenrol at school, they are often more likely thanboys to remain in education. While issues of educa-tional quality and outcome are high on govern-ment agendas, they must ensure that children getto school in the first place, and this preferably at theright age.

Enrolment rates are among the most commonly-cited participation indicators, although they aremost valuable as a complement to other indica-tors. Enrolment is neither a measure of actualschool attendance nor a measure of learningoutcomes. Data are typically collected at the begin-ning of the school year and compiled by nationalministries of education. There are problems ofquality of these data in many countries.

Gross enrolment rates measure the total volume ofeducation provided by a system. As such, they indi-cate the capacity of educational systems to providethe necessary school facilities for the official school-age population. Gross enrolment rates of above

100% are not uncommon and can indicate thatchildren outside of the official age ranges areattending school. It is not possible to make evalu-ative judgements about the desirability of suchgross enrolment rates without an understanding ofthe education system – are the rates high becausechildren are allowed to enter school early; becausechildren who missed out in the past on educationare being encouraged to catch up; or perhapsbecause of significant amounts of repetition ofschool years by children who are not achievingappropriate levels of education to move ahead? AsFigure 1 shows, countries even within the sameregion may have very different practices withrespect to the inclusion of children outside the offi-cial age ranges.

It is important to appreciate that neither nationalgross nor net enrolment rates capture completelythe equity of the available capacity. For example,rural areas may still not have good access to educa-tion even when the national gross enrolment rateis above 100 (Guadalupe and Louzano, 2003).

Net enrolment rates, which measure the enrolmentof children of the appropriate ages, can currentlybe calculated for about two-thirds of countries inthe world. The lack of available data by grade andage of pupils is the main reason that the indicatorcannot be calculated for other countries. It is ofconcern that the other third are unable to providethe data to calculate the indicator because thebuilding blocks of the indicator (year of age,gender, and grade) represent fundamental infor-mation required to manage education systems. TheUIS is therefore working with countries to improvetheir ability to calculate this indicator or to estimateit. Net enrolment provides the best picture ofwhether children of the appropriate age group areenrolled in the appropriate level of schooling.

Figure 2 provides both net and gross enrolmentrates by region, which can be compared with thenational rates provided in the tables of this publi-cation. Major differences between the two mea-sures can be explained by factors such as late entryinto school or repetition.

A wide range of data sources

The previous section concentrated on the use of arange of data produced by the administrative sys-tems of national education ministries. But it is alsovital to utilise data from a range of other sourcesin order to obtain a fuller, more comprehensivepicture of education trends. In education, as inhealth and other sectors, administrative data can beused alongside data from other sources to helpmonitor and formulate public policy. It is, however,important to stress that the use of other data mustnot be at the expense of administrative data. Flex-ible and sustainable education management infor-mation systems are a critical tool for processingstatistical information, but even more fundamentalfor managing the education system in a country.The great challenge is to improve national capacityso that countries themselves can collect, produce

and interpret indicators within a culture of bettergovernance and accountability.

The important analytical potential of data collectedthrough household- and school-based surveys iswell recognised in some countries and is of specialvalue in the measurement of progress towards UPE(see Box 2). Household survey data are a valuablecomplement to administrative data, since they pre-sent the opportunity to examine more closely indi-vidual-level differences in educational participa-tion – related to gender, location, ethnic group andhousehold characteristics.

As an increasing number of surveys, collecting dataon education participation, have been conductedin developing countries and as co-ordination effortshave been undertaken to try to harmonise some ofthe key variables, an international database of edu-cation indicators reached a critical mass by the late1990s. The number of developing countries coveredby USAID’s Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS),UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS),

and the World Bank’s Living Standards Measure-ment Surveys (LSMS) is large and growing.

Because of the increase in the quantity and cross-national comparability of data, the interest inanalysing these data has intensified. For the mostpart, education indicators are derived from multi-purpose surveys, which are not education surveysper se, but broad surveys including several hundredquestions with only a handful focused on educa-tion. Whereas this gives the advantage that educa-tion data can be related to many other variables, itcan mean that the design of the surveys is notoptimal for the collection of education data. Forexample, this may mean that the survey fieldworkis not timed to coincide with a specific point in theschool year, resulting in inconsistent estimates ofschool participation , e.g. more children attend atthe beginning of the school year than at the end ofthe school year and seasonality effects of childrennot attending school in order to help with harvests.

Indicators of progression andcompletion

Since 2001 there has been a great deal of debateon the appropriate indicators for measuring pro-gression and completion of primary education, andit is worth singling out this area for further discus-sion. Monitoring the progression of primary stu-dents is complicated by the need to take account ofgrade repetition and school dropout. Currentlythere is no cross-national measure of primary schoolcompletion which is accepted by countries andwhich can be measured in a harmonised way acrossa large number of countries. This remains an impor-tant challenge for the future.

This global digest presents two relevant indicators– survival rate to grade 5 and gross enrolment infinal year of primary education (ISCED 1), but fur-ther study of completion is required as subsequentparagraphs will make clear.

Survival rate to grade 5

The UIS calculates a measure of completion of fouryears of education. More explicitly, this is the sur-vival rate to grade five or the proportion of pupilsstarting grade 1 who reach grade 5. This indicatorwas included as part of the EFA2000 assessment andis one of the Millennium Development Goal indi-cators. The survival rate is an indicator of the prob-ability that children who enter the educationalsystem reach a specific grade, typically grade five.Grade five serves as an international benchmark fora minimum duration of primary education. This en-sures that the indicator is as comparable as possibleacross national systems of different duration byfocusing on internationally accepted minimal stan-dards.

The indicator measures progression in the educa-tional system as opposed to access (intake) or partic-ipation (enrolment). However, currently survivalrates can only be calculated for about 40% of coun-tries, as it requires reliable data for two consecutiveyears. Renewed efforts are taking place at the UISto improve the coverage of countries for this indi-cator.

The indicator undoubtedly has drawbacks in that itcan lead to an overestimation of the completionrate because some students that have started agrade may not finish it. In this way it is a moreaccurate estimate of completion of four years ofeducation than of five. Since the indicator refers toenrolled pupils only, it can be weighted by intakeor enrolment rates.

Primary completion rate

Increasingly there is interest in a measure of primaryschool ‘graduation’. However, the concept ofprimary ‘graduation’ is not clear. Across the worldthere are many different concepts of primary grad-uation and an internationally-comparable measure

An important advantage of household survey data isthat they provide the characteristics of school-age chil-dren who are not participating in education. Adminis-trative data typically provide data for only those chil-dren who have enrolled in school, and often providelimited information about children who are enrolledbut who are not attending school. As Figure 3 shows,there are often sizable differences in educational partic-ipation depending upon the population subgroup. InGuinea, children who live in rural areas or in householdsthat score low on the household asset index, as well asthose who have a mother with no education, are muchless likely to report having attended school in the lastyear. Moreover there are important interactions withresidence, well-being and gender. One in eight girlsfrom poor households attend school, compared to onein four boys from poor households.

This type of information is helpful in targeting nationalpolicy efforts, although it is important to appreciatethat the survey data may also be weak in relation toseverely disadvantaged groups since these are fre-quently under-represented in household surveys evenin the most developed countries. In less developedcountries, the coverage of disadvantaged groups, suchas migrants, refugees, the homeless, those in orphan-ages and other institutions, or people from ethnicminorities, is even more difficult and thus results mayunderestimate the scope of a problem such as out-of-school children.

As indicated above, a further advantage of surveys is thepossibility to inquire about attendance at school.However, this is not as straightforward as it might ap-pear and often surveys will produce markedly differentestimates of attendance because of differences in themethodology or because of differences in the surveytiming in relation to the school year.

Figure 4 presents the proportion of primary school-agechildren who were out of school in Kenya according todifferent data sources. The dark blue diamonds repre-sent figures based on administrative data and the lightblue squares represent figures based on survey esti-mates. It is apparent that there is a large gap in infor-mation. There are no international quality-assured

administrative data available between 1991 and 1998,but these administrative data seem to indicate a wors-ening situation from 5% out of school in 1990 up to35% in 1999, with a fall in the number of out-of-schoolchildren more recently to 31% in 2000. Two DHS surveysconducted during this period seem to show a differenttrend. These survey estimates show the proportion ofout-of-school children declined by one half: from 26%in 1993 to 13% in 1998. In 1993, the odds of being outof school for rural children were 24% higher than thatfor urban children, but in 1998 no significant differencewas found. This result seems to indicate that the reduc-tion of the total proportion of out-of-school populationbenefited rural children (Thiam, 2003).

Which are we to take as the best representation oftrends in Kenya? Additional data may help to answerthis question. Survey estimates from two other surveys,conducted by the ILO (1998) and UNICEF (2000), used asimilar methodology to that of the DHS. They both pro-vided estimates that were very similar to that of the firstDHS survey in 1993 and not too different from theadministrative-based figures available for 1999 and2000. Taking either the mean or modal value of the fiveobservations between 1998 and 2000 would result in a

figure still quite a bit higher than the 1990 benchmark.Further analysis is needed in order to understand whydifferent sources produce such different results.

All data are subject to error. In the case of survey data,sampling errors can be high particularly if, for reasonsof field administration, the samples were tightly clus-tered. But, perhaps more importantly and far lessexplored, are biases introduced by non-sampling error.For example, the translation of questions into manydifferent languages can change the meaning and thusmay affect responses, response effects such as thepossible reluctance of a parent to admit that their childis not in school, response effects introduced by inter-viewers with insufficient experience, etc. There are alsoproblems related to collecting age data by completedyear, and the timing and duration of surveys, whichhave not been designed as specific education surveys.

The errors in administrative data are also of concernthough they may have a different impact on the data.In many countries the administrative data can be incom-plete, especially for private educational institutions andfor schools in remote areas. The population data usedin calculating enrolment rates may be out of date or notcorrespond to the education data in some key ways.

There may be incentives for those who complete thesurvey forms to report data in a particular way, such asover-reporting of enrolment.

These comments are not made in order to de-value thedata which are available but in order to emphasise theneed for resources to collect high quality data, to createa greater understanding of the limitations of differentsources of information, and to promote the need formultiple sources of information in order to generate agreater understanding of the situation of education ina country. In particular, caution must be exercised ininterpreting one figure or in concluding that the changeover time is accurately measured by the differencebetween two figures, given that such change might bean artefact of differences in the methodology.

Countries often do not play a sufficiently large role inincorporating survey data in national policymaking. Itis very unfortunate, when surveys are driven by inter-national agencies seeking their own data, that thesurvey design has not taken account of national needsand the data are not exploited within the country. Inter-national survey efforts may provide an immediate indi-cator for the short term (although not always a conclu-sive one, as shown in the case of Kenya), but they shouldalso be balanced alongside more long-term goals ofbuilding capacity within countries to monitor their owneducational systems. Greater resources are needed toensure that all data collected in a country have a greaterpositive impact on the national capacity to design,collect and analyse the data. Ensuring that the datafrom administrative and survey sources are publiclyavailable is a critical and minimal condition in ensuringtheir value to countries.

of primary graduation is still far from being areality. Completion of primary is often based onteacher assessment (similar to any other grade)rather than any type of examination. Many coun-tries do hold public examinations, and there maynot be an outcome such as an exam or schoolleavers’ certificate as in secondary education. Insome countries the public examinations are in-tended as placement tests where the number ofplaces in the secondary institutions is limited. Inthose cases the number of graduates is effectivelya measure of the secondary levels capacity and notof the graduates’ capabilities.

An attempt to capture a primary school completionrate has been popularised by the World Bank. It isthe number of pupils of any age completing theprimary cycle as a percentage of the number ofchildren at the theoretical graduation age. This hasbecome known as a graduation rate. Ideally thisapproach aims to assess the proportion of childrenwho have achieved a basic level of skills.

However due to the lack of available data, theWorld Bank has used a proxy indicator for thiswhich is calculated based on the number of childrenenrolled in the last year of primary education, netof repeaters, divided by the number of children inthe official age for primary completion. Depen-dent on data availability, the enrolment data mayrelate to beginning of the year or end of the yeardata.1 This indicator is readily available, but moreoften on the basis of enrolment in the last year ofprimary school rather than on the basis of successfulachievement at the end of primary school.

This indicator has limited value as an internation-ally-comparable indicator of educational progress

since the duration of what countries call a primarycycle ranges from 3 to 10 years. Applying ISCEDlevel 1 makes the duration of primary educationmore similar, but the data are less meaningful fromthe national perspective. The UIS is committed toworking with countries to develop their capacitiesto collect better measures of graduation andcompletion data for their primary education cycleand to explore the possibility of extending theseindicators to reflect the ISCED rather than nationalsystems.

Primary education corresponds generally to thelevel 1 programmes that, according to ISCED97,aim to “give students a sound basic education inreading, writing and mathematics.” An alternativeto using graduation is to set a certain number ofyears as a benchmark, typically 4–6 years, a periodof learning which is generally considered sufficientto ensure that basic literacy skills are attained andretained.

Assessments of reading literacy among pupils inthe last year of primary school in six countries inSouthern Africa show that far too few pupilsachieve minimum literacy skill levels. As shown inFigure 5, direct measures of skills can bear littlerelation to measures of completion (or other partic-ipation measures as well). Thus, Kenya has thelowest rate of completion according to World Bankstaff estimates. In 1999, 63% of pupils were com-pleters, which was the lowest rate among the sixcountries. But, pupils in Kenya were more likely tohave achieved acceptable learning outcomes thanpupils in other countries, even compared to Zim-babwe where the completion rate was almost twiceas high as in Kenya.

1 Some have compared this indicator to the OECD methodology for measuring the secondary graduation rate. However, the OECD approach extends far

beyond the calculation of a simple ratio. The OECD methodology places strong emphasis on the cross-national comparability of education indicators and

would not accept nationally-specific definitions in place of international ones, and would only use actual graduation data not enrolments.

This underscores the importance of using differentindicators in combination, as well as the impor-tance of developing direct measures of learningoutcome. It would be a tragedy for the 47% ofstudents who, despite completing almost six yearsof schooling, have not attained basic reading skillsif we judge that Mauritius has met the require-ments of universal primary education because ithas a completion rate of 111. This would be evenmore true for the pupils from the poorest house-holds, of whom less than one in three achievedminimum reading literacy skills (Kulpoo, 1998,p.71).

Thus whilst existing measures of survival andcompletion are valuable measures of access andprogression in education, they should not be inter-preted as measures of learning outcome.

Other measures of educationalparticipation

Education for All has prioritised primary education,and thus this has been a focus of this chapter in thefirst UIS Global Education Digest. Future digestswill explore other important aspects of education

statistics, such as the expected average length ofschooling for the current population of childrenentering school. In some non-OECD countries thisis changing fast and is approaching the levelsachieved in OECD countries. Figure 6 shows thesituation of sixteen of the countries which partici-pate in the World Education Indicators project ofthe UIS in collaboration with OECD and withfunding from the World Bank. The fast rate ofchange can be illustrated by comparing the averagenumber of years of schooling of the adult popula-tion compared to that expected for current five-year-olds. This illustrates too the need for the inter-national statistics to remain relevant to a widerange of countries in very varying circumstances.

Developing approaches tomeasuring learning outcomes

There are many and increasing pressures on devel-oping countries to collect data on educationaloutcomes. Some of these pressures come aboutthrough a greater awareness of cross-nationalstudies and an interest in some countries to emulate

others. The understanding of the value of such stu-dies in the development and evaluation of educa-tional policy needs to be strengthened.

It is recognised that pictures of countries arepartially misleading if they only concentrate on theinputs to the educational system without lookingat quality, efficiency and whether children are prop-erly equipped for the sorts of lives they have to lead.So, for example, reporting on the widening of ac-cess to education, say, needs to be alongside anexamination of whether this has been achieved atthe expense of the quality of the education beingreceived.

Within the EFA context, the Dakar Framework forAction emphasized the need for better outcomemeasures. Therefore the existing interest in col-lecting assessment data of knowledge and skillsamongst children and adults has been re-inforced.Because countries are held accountable within theEFA framework, the data are needed not just forreasons of internal policy but also of internationalmonitoring. The international pressures on the UISare to collect such data on a systematic basis acrossa wider range of countries than hitherto, but datacollection exercises have to be designed in the fullknowledge that there are many weak educationalstatistical systems – we cannot even obtain regulardata on basic education inputs from some countries.

The choice facing countries

Measuring and monitoring learning outcomes canplay a key role in improving education qualitythrough monitoring the quality of national educa-tional systems, institutions and instructionalsettings. Results of learning achievement exami-nations in reading, mathematics and sciences havebeen increasingly emphasized as desired measuresof primary school outcomes. However, assessmentcan take place at different levels and for differentpurposes.

A national assessment of schools is designed todetermine national standards and is usually con-ducted using a representative sample of students.This is distinct from public examinations, which aretypically carried out at the national or regionallevel among students reaching a specific grade oreducational level. Generally, the purpose of publicexaminations is to certify the level of achievementof individual students and/or to select students forthe next level of the education system. A nationalassessment, on the other hand, is not concernedwith the performance of identifiable students butis typically carried out with the intention of raisingor maintaining standards and providing informa-tion that can be used to guide system-level policychoices and identify schools in need of support.Often assessment results are used to assign ac-countability for outcomes.

National assessments can be specific to a particularcountry or may be part of an international pro-gramme. Since many aspects of the design of aninternational assessment are standardised acrosscountries, including the particular instruments fortesting the students, they may not reflect nationalinterests as well as national assessments. However,the advantage of being able to compare condi-tions of learning and teaching, and student achieve-ment across countries can outweigh the lack ofnational specificity. Some countries choose to carryout both sorts of assessment.

Statisticians and policymakers, particularly in lessdeveloped countries where resources are tight, mayfind it hard to determine which assessment wouldbest suit their needs. There are many initiatives,both international and regional, and it is hard toevaluate these different approaches in order todetermine whether they should participate in anyof them. Further guidance is needed to countries tohelp them to: a) judge the value of participating inassessment studies at all; and b) evaluate the rela-tive merits and weaknesses of the large range ofdifferent methodologies for student and adult

19

assessment. It is also important to help them todetermine whether they should focus on one typeof study which might be repeated over time orwhether a better strategy is to use different studiesin combination with one another.

A key question for many countries is what are thebenefits of having cross-nationally comparabledata? The best approach might be to begin with acountry-specific project. Some initiatives have con-centrated on assisting countries to develop studieswhich are designed with their specific needs inmind, and this local relevance is given priority overcross-national harmonisation. How can we helpcountries make such a choice? To what extent is itimportant that assessment closely mirrors curriculaand how should countries determine the relativepriorities of school-based versus home-basedassessment?

An important issue is the extent to which differentcircumstances of countries in some parts of theworld mean that they require different method-ologies. In particular this leads to questions aboutwhether some of the methodologies developed inmore developed countries can be adapted for othercountries (at a very simple level, for example, is itappropriate to test 15-year-olds at school if a lowproportion of 15-year-olds are in school?).

Potential participants in cross-national studies alsohave questions about the resources (human as wellas financial) needed to carry out the different stu-dies, the opportunity costs of doing so, and theways in which such studies might fit into nationaleducational plans (and other plans such as PovertyReduction Strategy Papers). We might considerwhat advice we can give concerning the politicalcommitment needed in order for studies tocontribute to informed decision-making in coun-tries and how the misuse of assessment data can beguarded against.

The UIS exists to support countries, especially thosein the developing world, to build statistical systems

which are appropriate to their policy needs andwhich also meet their international obligations. Animportant aspect of this is helping national statis-ticians and policymakers to identify the ways inwhich student and adult assessment is relevant totheir own education policies and planning and thevalue of such measures in relation to internationalmonitoring. Since some countries have inadequateresources for data collection, it is vital that they areoffered assistance in prioritising their statisticalwork in order to ensure that they use such resourceseffectively.

Conclusion

This introductory chapter has served to contextu-alise the figures presented in the data tables. It hasbeen argued that policymakers require a rich rangeof complementary data rather than a restricted setof indicators. Indeed, different countries mayrequire different sets of indicators depending onpolicy priorities. In the measurement of UPE, theyare likely to choose a set of indicators that addressaccess, participation, progression and outcome.

The data presented are mostly derived from admin-istrative sources, and the potential for using othersources has also been highlighted. Indeed, whereUIS presents its own estimates in the tables below,we have sometimes drawn on such sources to makethese calculations.

Finally the issue of measuring learning outcomehas been discussed. It has been concluded thatcountries need to consider carefully which achieve-ment measure would be most appropriate to them,and the UIS has called for more transparency intesting methods which will enable countries tomake a better decision.

Above all, we would stress that UIS is committed tosupporting countries in deciding what indicatorsthey require and in helping them to collect and usethese effectively. The Institute has recently intro-

duced a programme of capacity building and isactively seeking more resources so that we are ableto improve the support we give to Member Statesin monitoring education in order to achieve Educa-tion for All.

The following symbols are used on the Statistical Tables:

... No data available* National estimation** UIS estimation– Magnitude nil or negligiblena Not applicable

All ratios are expressed as percentages (except for the pupil/teacherratio).

When one year only is indicated in a column heading it refers to thestart of the school and/or financial year, i.e. 1999 refers to the school/financial year 1999/2000.

Drastic changes in enrolment from one year to the next in any givencountry may occur for a number of social, political and/or economicreasons.

In some cases, data has been adjusted to comply with the ISCED97classification.

Net Enrolment Ratios and/or Intake Rates have not been producedfor some countries due to lack of accurate/reliable Age by Grade dis-tribution.

There are cases where an indicator theoretically could not exceed 100(one example being the net enrolment ratio), but inconsistenciesbetween the population and enrolment data nonetheless resulted

in the indicator exceeding the theoretical limit. Inthose cases capping was applied, while maintainingthe gender balance.

Due to rounding procedures, Gender Parity Index(GPI) and Change numbers cannot be derived fromthe preceding columns. The columns for GPI andchange are based on the data by gender and thedata for the two previous years respectively. Theyare therefore subject to the same reservations asthose underlying data, i.e. if one year is observeddata and the next year is a UIS estimate the re-sulting change will effectively be a UIS estimate.

Percentage of Females (%F) is included to providethe reader information on the number of girls en-rolled with respect to total enrolment in school. Forinformation on gender equality, please refer to theGPI column.

The standard indicator produced by UIS is SurvivalRate to Grade 5, but Survival Rate to Grade 4 hasbeen included as well, since in some countries thisrepresents the end of the primary cycle.

Timor-Leste was recognised as an independent stateon 20 May 2002. Data for previous years were notincluded in the data submissions for Indonesia.

Data do not include data from institutions not re-cognised by the national authorities. This in partic-ular should be considered when interpreting datafor Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.

Data for China do not include data for the twoSpecial Administrative Regions: Hong Kong andMacao.

The data presented in these tables do not includethe following 12 territories: Falkland Islands, Amer-ican Samoa, Faeroe Islands, French Guyana, FrenchPolynesia, Guadeloupe, Guam, Martinique, NewCaledonia, Puerto Rico, Reunion, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Data on GDP are World Bank estimates as of August2002.

Population

Population data are provided by the United NationsPopulation Division (UNPD) 2000 Revision. UNPD donot provide data by single year of age for countrieswith a population of less than 140,000. Where thetotal population is less than 140,000 national datawere used where available.

Education indicators are listed as missing (...) wherethere is no population data available.

Population based indicators have been omitteddue to serious concerns about the population datafor Bhutan and Armenia.

Croatia: The population data do not seem to reflectthe actual population in Croatia reliably. New popu-lation data will be used in future publications. Indi-cators are not internationally comparable andshould be interpreted with caution.

Note thatthe theoretical entrance age to a given programme or level is oftenbut not always the typical or most common entrance age.

Fields of education (Broad):

General programmes: basic programmes; literacy and numeracy;personal development.

Education: teacher training; education science; and educationalassessment.

Humanities and arts: religion and theology; foreign languagesand cultures; native languages; other humanities such as: inter-pretation and translation, linguistics, comparative literature,history, archaeology, philosophy, ethics. Fine arts; performingarts; graphic and audio-visual arts; design; craft skills.

Other programmes are classified as Not knownor Unspecified.

Foreign student. Students enrolled in an educa-tional programme in a country of which they arenot a permanent resident.

Gross domestic product (GDP). The sum of grossvalue added by all resident producers in the eco-nomy, including distributive trades and transport,plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies notincluded in the value of the products.

Gross national income (GNI). The sum of gross valueadded by all resident producers in the economy, in-cluding distributive trades and transport, plus anyproduct taxes, minus any subsidies not included inthe value of the products plus net receipts of in-come from abroad. Since net receipts from abroadmay be positive or negative, it is possible for GNI tobe greater or smaller than GDP. GNI is also referredto as Gross National Product (GNP).

International Standard Classification of Education(ISCED). A classification system designed as an in-strument suitable for assembling, compiling andpresenting comparable indicators and statistics ofeducation both within individual countries andinternationally. This system was introduced in 1976,and revised in 1997. ISCED classifies educationalprogrammes by their content along two axes: levelsof education and fields of education.

New entrants. Pupils or students entering a pro-gramme at a given level of education for the firsttime.

Orientation of educational programmes.

General education. This type of programme isdesigned mainly to lead pupils to a deeperunderstanding of a subject or group of subjects,especially, but not necessarily, with a view topreparing pupils for further education at thesame or a higher level. These programmes aretypically school-based and may or may not con-tain vocational elements. Successful comple-tion of these programmes may or may not leadto an academic qualification. However, they donot typically allow successful completers to en-ter a particular occupation or trade or class ofoccupations or trades without further training.

Technical and vocational education. This type ofprogramme is designed mainly to lead pupils toacquire the practical skills, know-how andunderstanding necessary for employment in aparticular occupation or trade (or class of occu-pations or trades). Successful completion ofsuch programmes normally leads to a labour-market relevant vocational qualification recog-nized by the competent authorities in thecountry in which it is obtained (e.g. Ministry ofEducation, employers’ associations, etc.).

Public expenditure on education at all educationallevels

Total expenditure on education. The sum ofthe expenditure on education made by local,regional and national/central governments, itexcludes inter-governmental transfers.

Current expenditure on education. Expendi-ture at all educational levels for goods andservices consumed within the current year andwhich would be renewed if needed in the fol-lowing year. It includes expenditure on: staffsalaries, pensions and benefits; contracted orpurchased services; other resources includingbooks and teaching materials; welfare services;and other current expenditure such as subsidiesto students and households, furniture andminor equipment, minor repairs, fuel, telecom-munications, travel, insurance and rents.

Capital expenditure on education. Expenditurefor assets that last longer than one year. It in-cludes expenditure for construction, renova-tion and major repairs of buildings and thepurchase of heavy equipment or vehicles.

Repeaters. Pupils enrolled in the same grade for asecond or further year.

School-age population. Population of the age-group which corresponds to the relevant level ofeducation as indicated by theoretical entrance ageand duration.

Student

Student / pupil. Refers to a person enrolled inan educational programme.

Full-time student. Persons engaged in an educa-tional programme for a number of hours ofstudy statutorily regarded as full-time at theparticular level of education.

Part-time student. Students whose statutorystudying hours are less than those required offull-time students.

Full-time equivalent number of students. Theseare generally calculated in person-years. Theunit for the measurement of full-time equiva-lence is a full-time student. Thus, a full-timestudent equals one full-time equivalent. Thefull-time equivalence of part-time students isdetermined by calculating the ratio of theirhours studied to the statutory hours studiedby a full-time student during the school year.For example, a student who studied one-thirdof the statutory hours of a full-time studentequals one-third of a full-time equivalentstudent.

Survival rates by grade. Percentage of a cohort ofpupils (or students) enrolled in the first grade of agiven level or cycle of education in a given schoolyear who are expected to reach successive grades.These are calculated using the reconstructed cohortmethod that uses data on the number of pupilsenrolled and repeaters for two consecutive years.

Teachers

Teaching staff. Persons employed full-time orpart-time in an official capacity for the purposeof guiding and directing the learning experi-ence of pupils and students, irrespective ofhis/her qualification or the delivery mechanism,i.e. whether face-to-face and/or at a distance.This definition excludes educational personnelwho have no active teaching duties (e.g. head-masters, headmistresses or principals who donot teach) or who work occasionally or in a vol-untary capacity in educational institutions (e.g.parents).

Trained teachers. Teachers who have receivedthe minimum organized teacher-training (pre-service or in-service) required for teaching atthe relevant level in the given country.

Full-time teachers. Persons engaged in teachingfor a number of hours of work statutorilyregarded as full-time at the particular level ofeducation.

Part-time teachers. Teachers whose statutoryworking hours are less than those required offull-time teachers.

Full-time equivalent number of teachers. Theequivalent is calculated in person-years. Theunit for the measurement of full-time equiva-lence is full-time employment. Thus, a full-timeteacher equals one full-time equivalent. Thefull-time equivalence of part-time teachers is

determined by calculating the ratio of theirhours worked to the statutory hours worked bya full-time teacher during the school year. Forexample, a teacher who works one-third of thestatutory hours of a full-time teacher equalsone-third of a full-time equivalent teacher.

Transition from ISCED 1 to ISCED 2 (%). The transi-tion rate from primary to secondary is based ondata for two consecutive years. New students en-rolled in the first grade of general programmes insecondary are compared to the number of studentsenrolled in the last grade of primary in the previousyear.

Entry to these programmes normally requires the successful completion of ISCED level 3A or 3B or a similar qualification at

ISCED level 4A.

1. have a minimum cumulative theoretical duration (at tertiary level) of three years;

2. typically require that the faculty have advanced research credentials;

3. may involve completion of a research project or thesis;

4. provide the level of education required for entry into a profession with high skills requirements or an advanced research

programme.

1. are more practically oriented and occupationally specific than programmes at ISCED 5A and do not prepare students for

direct access to advanced research programmes;

2. have a minimum of two years’ duration;

3. the programme content is typically designed to prepare students to enter a particular occupation.

1. requires the submission of a thesis or dissertation of publishable quality that is the product of original research and

represents a significant contribution to knowledge;

2. are not solely based on course-work;

3. prepare participants for faculty posts in institutions offering ISCED 5A programmes, as well as research posts in govern-

ment and industry.

This level is reserved for tertiary programmes that lead to the award of an advanced

research qualification. The programmes are devoted to advanced study and original

research.

4 POST-SECONDARY NON-TERTIARY

5 FIRST STAGE OF TERTIARY EDUCATION

6 SECOND STAGE OF TERTIARY EDUCATION (LEADING TO AN ADVANCED RESEARCH QUALIFICATION)

Classification criteria for level and sub-categories (5A and 5B)

Initial stage of organized instruction, designed primarily to introduce very young children

to a school-type environment.

Should be centre- or school-based, be designed to meet the educational and developmental needs of children of at least 3

years of age, and have staff that are adequately trained (i.e. qualified) to provide an educational programme for children.

Normally designed to give pupils a sound basic education in reading, writing and math-

ematics.

Beginning of systematic studies characteristic of primary education, e.g. reading, writing and mathematics. Entry into the

nationally designated primary institutions or programmes. The commencement of reading activities alone is not a sufficient

criteria for classification of an educational programmes at ISCED level 1.

The lower secondary level of education generally continues the basic programmes of the

primary level, although teaching is typically more subject-focused, often employing

more specialized teachers who conduct classes in their field of specialization.

Programmes at the start of level 2 correspond to the point where programmes are beginning to be organized in a more subject-

oriented pattern, using more specialized teachers conducting classes in their field of specialization.

If this organizational transition point does not correspond to a natural split in the boundaries between national educational

programmes, then programmes should be split at the point where national programmes begin to reflect this organizational

change.

The final stage of secondary education in most countries. Instruction is often more orga-

nized along subject-matter lines than at ISCED level 2 and teachers typically need to have

a higher level, or more subject-specific, qualification than at ISCED 2.

National boundaries between lower secondary and upper secondary education should be the dominant factor for splitting

levels 2 and 3.

Admission into programmes at this level usually require the completion of ISCED 2 for admission, or a combination of basic

education and life experience that demonstrates the ability to handle ISCED 3 subject matter.

These programmes straddle the boundary between upper secondary and post-secondary

education from an international point of view, even though they might clearly be consid-

ered as upper secondary or post-secondary programmes in a national context.

They are often not significantly more advanced than programmes at ISCED 3 but they

serve to broaden the knowledge of participants who have already completed a

programme at level 3. The students are typically older than those in ISCED 3 programmes.

ISCED 4 programmes typically have a duration of between 6 months and 2 years.

Students entering ISCED 4 programmes will typically have completed ISCED 3.

ISCED 5 programmes have an educational content more advanced than those offered at

levels 3 and 4.

5A ISCED 5A programmes are largely theoretically based and are intended to provide suffi-

cient qualifications for gaining entry into advanced research programmes and professions

with high skills requirements.

5B ISCED 5B programmes are generally more practical/technical/occupationally specific than

ISCED 5A programmes.

123

Annex C: International Standard Classification of Education (isced97)

Education which is not designed explicitly to prepare participants for

a specific class of occupations or trades or for entry into further voca-

tional/technical education programmes.

Education which prepares participants for direct entry, without further

training, into specific occupations. Successful completion of such pro-

grammes leads to a labour-market relevant vocational qualification.

Duration categories: less than 5 years; 5 years or more.

Duration categories: None.

Categories: First; Second or further.

Modular Programmes

Cumulative theoretical duration at tertiary Position in the national degree and qualificationsstructure

Pedagogical qualifications for the teaching staff; implementation of a

curriculum with educational elements.

In countries where the age of compulsory attendance (or at least the age at which

virtually all students begin their education) comes after the beginning of system-

atic study in the subjects noted, the first year of compulsory attendance should

be used to determine the boundary between ISCED 0 and ISCED 1.

If there is no clear break-point for this organizational change, however, then

countries should artificially split national programmes into ISCED 1 and 2 at the

end of 6 years of primary education.

In countries with no system break between lower secondary and upper secondary

education, and where lower secondary education lasts for more than 3 years,

only the first 3 years following primary education should be counted as lower

secondary education.

Programmes designed to prepare students for direct access to

level 3 in a sequence which would ultimately lead to tertiary

education, that is, entrance to ISCED 3A or 3B.

Programmes designed to prepare students for direct access to

programmes at level 3C.

Programmes primarily designed for direct access to the labour

market at the end of this level (sometimes referred to as

‘terminal’ programmes).

An educational qualification is earned in a modular programme by combining

blocks of courses, or modules, into a programme meeting specific curricular

requirements.

A single module, however, may not have a specific educational or labour market

destination or a particular programme orientation.

Programmes designed to provide direct access to ISCED 5A.

Programmes designed to provide direct access to ISCED 5B.

Programmes not designed to lead directly to ISCED 5A or 5B.

Therefore, these programmes lead directly to the labour market,

ISCED 4 programmes or other ISCED 3 programmes.

The first type are short vocational programmes where either the content is not

considered tertiary in many countries or the programmes do not meet the

duration requirement for ISCED 5B – at least 2 years.

These programmes are often designed for students who have completed level

3, although a formal ISCED level 3 qualification may not be required for entry.

The second type of programmes are nationally considered as upper secondary

programmes, even though entrants to these programmes will have typically

already completed another upper secondary programme (i.e. second-cycle

programmes).

Programmes designed to provide direct access to ISCED 5A or 5B.

Programmes not designed to lead directly to ISCED 5A or 5B.

These programmes lead directly to the labour market or other

ISCED 4 programmes.

Education which is not designed explicitly to prepare participants for

a specific class of occupations or trades or for entry into further voca-

tional/technical education programmes.

Education which prepares participants for direct entry, without further

training, into specific occupations. Successful completion of such pro-

grammes leads to a labour-market relevant vocational qualification.
