Information for the period prior to the 2000-2001, is available in the 2012-2013 Digest online at www.stats.gov.vc under publications at the top or at www.education.gov.vc/education/ under the publications tab.

Alternately, it can also be accessed on the Government’s website at www.gov.vc , under ministries, the education tab and then publications.
This document is prepared primarily by the Planning and Research Units within the Ministry of Education in St. Vincent and the Grenadines with assistance from the Human Resource Department, The Examination and Assessment Units and also the Education Media Unit.

The Education Districts have been realigned based on a recommendation received from the Central Statistical Office.
The boundaries of the education districts are now the same as those used for the Census Districts thereby improving comparability with education data and other data sets from the wider population.

The data presented in the 2021-2022 Statistical Digest is reflective of thirteen education districts instead of the previous eleven districts.

The maps and tables for each level of education, have therefore been adjusted to guide the end user accordingly.
The Planning and Research Units within the Ministry of Education expresses their deepest thanks to the Early Childhood Administrators, Primary Heads, Secondary Principals, Principals of Technical Institutes, and Heads of Special Education Centres for their assistance in the preparation of this document, via the submission of the Annual School Questionnaire.
Also we say thanks to the staff of the National Public Library, Archives and Documentation Centre for their invaluable input in making the completion of this document a reality.

Hence, we pause again to say thanks.

We express our deepest gratitude to all those who assisted in the preparation of this document.

Firstly, special mention is made of Mr. Anil Sutherland and Ms. Yinca Lewis, who has worked tirelessly in providing student performance data.
Also, we say thanks to Ms. Cameshe Samuel, who facilitated the initial data collection and collation from the institutions.

We also say thanks to Mr. Alexis Caine, the Deputy Education Planner who quite ably assisted in the preparation of this document.

Additionally, we express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Camillus Pitt and his team for assisting in the preparation of some data sets which enhanced the quality of this document would xvi not have been possible.
We also say thanks to the Education Media Unit who graciously supplied photographs for enhancing the appearance of this publication and a very special thank you to Ms. Rosemarie Lewis who continues to maintain her usual high standard in designing our cover pages.

Finally, we say thanks to Mrs. Sandrina Free-Deane who assisted quite ably in the editing the document and improved its overall aesthetic appeal.
xvii Foreword from the Minister of Education and National Reconciliation – Honourable Curtis King The need for accurate up-to-date information to inform decision making is more pronounced now than hitherto.

The large-scale disruption in the education system occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic and the frequency of adverse weather conditions associated with climate change issues has forced policy makers and educators to re-examine the approach to teaching and learning.
Moreover, the setbacks experienced during the pandemic have compromised the attainment of the lofty goals of the 2030 sustainable development agenda.

The extent to which we make progress towards SDG 4, inclusive and equitable access to quality education and lifelong learning for all by 2030, will be dependent on the strategic interventions made by both policy makers and practitioners in education.

Such interventions must of necessity be informed by relevant and timely information.
This digest provides valuable information from which extrapolation can be done to help to inform decisions on the type of interventions needed to address setbacks experienced, learning losses recorded and the adjustments needed in our education system.

I therefore commend this important document to policy makers, educators and other stakeholders for their professional and general usage.
Once again, I thank the Education Planner, his team and all those who contributed to the production of this valuable document.

xviii Message from the Permanent Secretary - Mr. Myccle Burke The Education system globally was catapulted into a state of chaos due to an unannounced and unwanted pandemic.

The situation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines was further exacerbated by multiple hazards that challenged the mode and method of education delivery.
A cursory and intimate analysis of student performance during this unprecedented period of challenge has revealed certain deficits in our education system.

The Ministry of Education and National Reconciliation has committed to the purposeful use of limited resources on a recovery of learning quest.

During the period of heightened challenges, instructional time was loss and the quality of the learning experience diminished, despite numerous attempts at creative responses.
The data provided for the period of assessment demonstrates a widening of the divide that is reflective of the disparity in resources available to learners across the education system.

Policy interventions aimed at promoting equity must be fiercely advocated as a resolution during this period of transition to a state of relative normalcy.

Global approaches that are driven by the mantra of “Education Transformation” must resonate with local stakeholders to achieve meaningful results.
Data gathering and sharing should be at the forefront of policy responses and the Ministry of Education through the office of the Education Planner must continue to produce quality information that will guide decisions making.

Proper problem identification and planning lends itself to more effective interventions and implementation.

Quality data must therefore form the basis for any creative response.
An analysis of the data produced during the review period demonstrates an increase in the rate of attrition and repetition.

Attrition and repetition are particularly prevalent among males at the secondary level and more typical of certain education institutions.

The Ministry of Education in its attempt to transform the education system will focus on the annually generated quantitative and qualitative research being cognizant of the important role od data in decision making.
“Without data you’re just another person with an opinion.” Edwards Deming, Statistician “The ability to take data – to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualise it, to communicate it – is going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades.” Hal Varian, Chief Economist, Google.
“Torture the data and it will confess to anything.” Ronald Coase, Economist xix Message from the Chief Education Officer- Mrs. Kay Martin-Jack Those of us who sit in senior management positions, understand all too well, how critical it is to have all the right information at our finger tips to help us to make informed decisions which are likely to impact thousands of people.
This year's statistical digest, is one such piece of information which ought to be consulted before making any decision on educational policies or educational needs and wants that are geared towards propelling the education sector forward.

The world has and continues to change rapidly.

We must adapt to these changes in order to make our people marketable.
The digest is therefore likely to be beneficial to all of our stakeholders including: government departments, non-governmental agencies, regional and international partners, funding agencies, universities, schools, parents and students.

It is my pleasure to invite you to examine the contents of this year's report and use the information to help you to articulate a position on the way forward for yourselves and others.
If we are to truly experience the transformative nature of education, then we are to always be in a state of evaluating our circumstances, monitoring our resources and measuring our output.

If done efficiently, we hope that our education sector produces persons who may be deemed as ideal Vincentian citizens, citizens who are conversant with modern trends and who are able to traverse the challenges which our global village presents.
Let us continue to think about ways we can change our approach to better our educational outcomes.

I hope you find the information within valuable.

10 Early Childhood Education Early Childhood education development is a pivotal pillar in the educational policies and programmes of the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The government continues to invest tremendous financial resources to support private and public early childhood institutions to improve the overall quality and access to early years’ education.
Currently, there are one hundred and eight (108) early childhood centres in operation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines of which fifteen (15) are government owned and operated institutions.

During the period under review eleven (11) privately owned centres closed due to declining enrolment at their institutions.

This is in keeping with the thrust of the government to ensure that all preschool children access quality early childhood education at minimal or no cost to parents.
The overall enrolment for the 2021/22 Academic year stood at two thousand seven hundred and seventy-three (2773), which was a decrease of three hundred and sixty-nine (369) from the previous three thousand one hundred and forty-two (3142) in 2020-2021.

The enrolment in the private institutions decreased from two thousand seven hundred and thirty-six (2736) to two thousand three hundred and thirty-seven (2337), a decrease of 14.47%.
At this time, the public institutions enrolment moved from four hundred and six (406) to four hundred and thirty-six (436), an increase of 7.39% (30 students).

The country achieved universal access to secondary education in 2005, which has significantly increased the number of students pursuing higher education.

This achievement has helped to improve the overall education level of the country and has had a positive impact on the economy by helping to produce a skilled workforce that is able to meet the demands of various industries.
Moreover, secondary education provides the foundation for further studies, leading to a better understanding of academic subjects and increased employability prospects.

One of the key indicators of the importance of secondary education in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is the level of investment made by the government.

The second-largest allocation of the national budget goes to secondary education, which highlights the government's commitment to providing quality education for all citizens.
The investment in secondary education has led to improved facilities, infrastructure, and teaching quality, which in turn has created a conducive environment for learning.

Additionally, secondary education is essential for social and personal development.

It provides students with the necessary skills to navigate through the complexities of life, make informed decisions, and contribute meaningfully to society.
By providing a platform for socialization, secondary education promotes diversity, inclusivity, and tolerance, which are vital elements for building a strong and harmonious society as expounded in the Ministry of Education and National Reconciliation’s mission statement.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines has twenty-nine (29) secondary education institutions, with twenty- one (21) being public and eight (8) being church-owned with government assistance.
In 2021-2022, there were nine-thousand five hundred and sixty-six (9,566) secondary students enrolled with a majority attending public schools.

The number of teachers increased from seven hundred and ninety-nine (799) in 2020-2021 to 803 in 2021-2022, with an increasing number of female teachers.

Trained teacher proportions increased from 57.08% to 64.13% between 2015-2016 and 2021- 2022, with 72.62% of trained teachers being female in 2021-2022.
However, there are still concerns about students not meeting benchmarks or dropping out, with 91 students exiting prematurely in 2021-2022.

A skilled workforce is essential for economic growth, innovation, and competitiveness in the global market.

With the ever-changing nature of work, it is important to provide education and training that will prepare individuals for the workforce.

TVET is vital in St. Vincent and the Grenadines as it helps to bridge the gap between education and employment.
Through TVET, individuals can develop the necessary skills and competencies needed for the job market, including technical, practical, and vocational skills.

With a highly skilled workforce, companies are able to produce goods and services of a higher quality more efficiently, which is essential for growth and success in today's global economy.

Moreover, TVET helps to reduce unemployment rates and poverty levels in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
By providing individuals with the skills and knowledge needed for employment, they are more likely to secure a job and earn a decent living.

This not only benefits the individual but also contributes to the economic growth of the country.

With a lower unemployment rate, there is less strain on government resources, and more revenue is generated through taxes.

In addition, TVET provides opportunities for lifelong learning and career advancement.
With the rapid changes in technology and the workforce, individuals must continue to develop their skills and knowledge to remain relevant in their chosen field.

Through TVET, individuals can access training and education programs that will help them to keep up with the latest developments in their field and enhance their career prospects.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines provides Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) at secondary level mainly through four Technical Institutes, while the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College offers TVET programs at the post-secondary level.
In the 2021-2022 academic year, 222 students (83 males and 139 females) were enrolled in TVET programs at the Technical Institues, with the highest enrollment at the Campden Park Technical Institute and the lowest at the Kingstown Technical Institute.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines has established a TVET Certification Framework, enabling the issuance of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and Caribbean Vocational Qualifications (CVQs).
The Sector Skills Development Agency (SSDA) and its secretariat, the National Qualifications Department (NQD), are responsible for developing TVET programs and certification.

To enhance the TVET system's capacity, the government has invested in the TVET Development Project, financed by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).

The project aims to address the capacity-building needs for expanding access to TVET programs and improving the learning environment.
Additionally, the CDB project includes the construction of smart classrooms at the four Technical Institutes.
