  1. COVERAGE AND DISCREPANCIES EDUCATION INDICATORS FOR MDGS Regional Workshop On Education Indicators For Millennium Development Goals Rogner Hotel Europark, Tirana, Albania, 21-22 November 2012

  2. Content Presentation: • Millennium Development Goals • Coverage and discrepancies education indicators for MDGs • Additional Indicators for national and regional Monitoring

  3. MDGs: Targeting Development ‘Spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty’ • Aim: Development  reduce poverty & increase quality of life

  4. Millennium Declaration • Unanimously adopted by 152 heads of states present at the General Assembly in September 2000 at the Millennium Summit • Largest international effort to reduce poverty and improve livelihood • Commitment to the people • Responsibility of Governments towards people • Under UN leadership

  5. Millennium Declaration: MDGs • Main output: Initiation of the MDGs • Framework for national policy making and measures progress • For each Goal, Targets are set and Indicators to measure set by all countries • Integrated approach: Goals and Target are interrelated • Time-bound and quantified • Base year: situation in 1990 • Deadline 2015

  6. Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education • Target 2.A: Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling • 2.1 Net enrolment ratio in primary education • 2.2 Proportion of pupils starting grade 1 who reach last grade of primary • Primary Completion rate • 2.3 Literacy rate of 15-24 year-olds, women and men • Women to man parity index

  7. Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women • Target 3.A: Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015 • 3.1 Ratios of girls to boys in primary education • 3.1 Ratios of girls to boys in secondary education • 3.1 Ratios of girls to boys in tertiary education • 3.2 Share of women in wage employment in the non-agricultural sector • 3.3 Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament

  8. Overview Reporting on education indicators for MDG • Only official estimates as published in: • National MDG Reports: • 63 Reports from 29 countries • Dedicated National MDG Websites: • 4 Websites from 4 countries • Official International MDG data from UNSD and UNECE MDG-database • Not: Statistical Yearbooks, general databases or other reports and websites at national or international level • NSO often not responsible for production of national MDG-report (often limited to providing data)

  9. Reports available to UNECE: • Albania: 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010 • Armenia: 2001, 2005, 2010, web • Azerbaijan: 2005, web • Bosnia-Herz.: 2004, 2010 • Georgia: 2004 , 2005, 2006 • Kyrgyzstan: 2005, 2009/2010, web • Moldova: 2005, 2010 web • Tajikistan: 2003 , 2005, 2010

  11. Coverage Education Indicators in National MDG Reports

  12. Coverage Education Indicators in International MDG database

  13. Coverage Education Indicators in National MDG Reports

  14. Coverage Education Indicators in International MDG database

  15. Coverage 2.1 Total net enrolment ratio in primary education:

  16. Coverage 2.1 Total net enrolment ratio in primary education:

  17. Coverage 2.2 Percentage of pupils starting grade 1 who reach last grade of primary:

  18. Coverage 2.2b Primary completion rate, both sexes

  19. Coverage 2.3 Literacy rates of 15-24 years old, both sexes, percentage

  20. Coverage 3.1 Gender Parity Index in primary level enrolment

  21. Coverage 3.1 Gender Parity Index in primary level enrolment

  22. Coverage 3.1 Gender Parity Index in secondary level enrolment

  23. Coverage 3.1 Gender Parity Index in tertiary level enrolment

  24. Conclusions Coverage/Discrepancies • National coverage reasonably good • International coverage good However: • Discrepancies between national and international data • Discrepancies in available years between national and international data • Large discrepancies in values • Definitions, methods and sources differ • Metadata needed to explain discrepancies

  25. Additional indicators used for monitoring Education in MDGs • Most countries in the UNECE region use other indicators for monitoring national progress in education • Alternative indicators to replace unavailable official • Additional indicators (and Targets/Goals) that are more relevant in the national context • Disaggregates: • By sex • By rural/urban or regions • Minority and/or disadvantaged groups

  26. Additional Indicators Education • Only if time-series reported for indicator and/or if indicator included in table • Over 300 different labels for indicators (excluding disaggregations) • Naming of the variables not uniform & definitions and concepts not always clear • If grouped into similar indicators: 100+ • Number of indicators per country range from 2 to 29 (including disaggregations: 2 to 53)

  27. Indicators published that cover net-enrolment in primary education part 1 • Net enrolment in primary education • Net enrolment in primary education (grades 1-4) • Net primary education[1-4] enrolment rate • Net enrollment rate in the initial stage of primary education (1-4 grades) • Net enrolment rate in general primary education • Net primary school enrolment rate • Enrolment ratio in primary education • Enrolment in primary education • Primary education enrolment rate • Percent of boys and girls of primary school age who are pupils • Coverage in primary education • Net enrolment rate for children aged 6-9 in primary programmes

  28. Indicators published that cover net-enrolment in primary education part 2 • Net enrollment rate in the junior high stage of primary education (5-8 grades) • Share of children enrolled in elementary and primary education (7–15 years old) • Secondary education enrolment as % of population of 7-15-year-olds • Enrolment rate in elementary education • Enrolment rate in compulsory education • Enrolment in basic education • Enrolment in basic education (grades 5-9) • Similar variation used referring to Basic education, Secondary (&lower/upper) education and other indicators

  29. Additional Indicators used most frequently (number of countries): • Net enrolment in Secondary Education (16) • Education budget as % of GDP (9) • Drop-out rate (10) • primary education (7) • Other drop-out rates (5) • Net enrolment in pre-school education (7) • Net enrolment in Tertiary education (6) • Completion rate secondary education (6) • Education budget as % of Government budget (5) • Net enrolment in Basic Education (5)

  30. Other Indicators used (by 3-6 countries): Used in International monitoring: • Completion rate primary education (5) • Completion rate secondary education (6) • Ratio of literate women to men 15–24 years old (5) Alternative Indicators: • Gross enrolment in primary education (4) • Gross enrolment in secondary education (6) • Gross enrolment in Basic Education (5) • Literacy rate 15+ (6)

  31. Conclusions • More frequently used additional indicators are related to secondary and tertiary education, budget for education and drop-out rate • Coverage additional international indicators not common (<20%) • Some countries cannot produce net enrolment rates (and use gross) • For national policy needs, countries need specific national indicators • Harmonization in terminology and naming of concepts/definition needed
