It is our aim to develop our islands’ human resources, through the sustainable provision of quality learning opportunities for all, in order to equip our people with the required values, attitudes, levels of skills and knowledge necessary for creating and maintaining a productive, innovative and harmonious society.
The annual Education Statistical Digest produced by the Ministry of Education, National Reconciliation and Ecclesiastical Affairs is a comprehensive source of data needed to measure the performance of our educational institutions in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Also, the Digest informs various stakeholders in their decision-making and provides information for further research that informs policy in this sector.
The capture of data from the pre-primary to the tertiary level is essential in guiding us toward evidenced based operations.

It is also a means of ensuring that we are performing creditably at the local, regional and international levels.

Furthermore, the data herein is critical to ensure that the educational sector is meeting the needs of our citizens and providing them with additional opportunities for self-actualisation.
Despite the challenges in the academic year 2016-2017, there have been steady improvements in the performance of our students.

I commend all of the persons who contributed to this edition of the Digest.

Special thanks to the principals and teachers of the various schools who supplied most of the data in order to facilitate the process.

We value your contributions.

I welcome your comments and suggestions on how we can improve future publications.
Honourable St. Clair Prince Minister of Education, National Reconciliation and Ecclesiastical Affairs xi Message from the Permanent Secretary- Mrs. Morine Williams The 2016 strategic priorities as well as the strategic activities of the Ministry of Education, National Reconciliation and Ecclesiastical Affairs were centered around improving systems, enhancing both human and system capacity, with the anticipated output being increased productivity and improved performance.
The tangible evidence would be improvement in the operations at the Administrative Level of the Ministry of Education, National Reconciliation and Ecclesiastical Affairs, improvement in teacher/ student engagement and improved student results.

The collection and analysis of relevant data remains crucial to ascertaining the extent to which objectives have been achieved.

The yearly collection of data ensures that information that the digest presents is current.
This further allows for easy comparisons and the detection of trends that will inform future decision making.

Beyond our local use, the data forms the basis for comparative analysis with our neighbouring sister states in the OECS as well as the monitoring of the progress made in the implementation of the OECS Education Sector Strategy (OESS), while also providing international monitoring as this information is fed to the Global Monitoring Report the Global monitoring.
Further, analysis of the data guides donors and bilateral partners as to the extent of or impact of interventions previously undertaken.

I continue to encourage those who must supply this data to be consistent in their collection of data so that the required information will be available as requested by the Planning Unit.

xii Message from the Chief Education Officer - Ms. Beverly Neptune The production of the 2016-2017 Education Statistical Digest provides another opportunity for internal and external stakeholders to set goals and objectives in the 2017- 2018 academic year.

The Ministry of Education, National Reconciliation and Ecclesiastical Affairs strives through this production to be accountable, transparent and responsive in the continual development of education system within St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
In total, our institutions include one hundred and twenty nine (129) early childhood centres, sixty eight (68) primary schools, twenty seven (27) secondary schools and one community college comprising four (4) divisions.

For the 2016-2017 academic year there were 3,564 early childhood pupils, 13,026 primary, 10,113 secondary and 2,109 post- secondary students.

Our teaching core included 454 care givers, 905 primary and 704 secondary teachers.
In this document we provide the data on the returns on investments made in the education sector.

We base this on our school’s performance and in particular, the progress of the students and also teachers’ professional development.

Hence, we must ensure that our data collection remains timely and accurate in order to enable efficient prioritization of our goals, and prudent use of our resources through efficient monitoring.
It is my hope that through the publication of this Education Statistical Digest, we will be better able to share our on-going successes, as well as our challenges in a timely manner with our partners.

xiii Introduction The Education Statistical Digest is reflective of data from the 2000-2001 to 2016-2017 Academic Year.
Information for the period prior to the 2000-2001, is available in the 2016- 2017 Digest online at www.stats.gov.vc under publications at the top or at www.education.gov.vc/education/ under the publications tab.

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 other departments within the Ministry of Education.
The Planning and Research Unit within the Ministry of Education expresses its deepest thanks to the Early Childhood Administrators, Primary Heads and Secondary Principals for their assistance in completing the Annual School Survey which in turn facilitated the production of this document.

We acknowledge that without your data submissions this objective would not be achieved and hence we pause again to say thanks.
While we cannot identify each person who contributed in one form or another, we wish to express our deepest gratitude to all those who assisted and make special mention of Mr. Anil Sutherland, who has worked tirelessly in providing student performance data and Mrs. Jozene Franklyn and Ms. Tamira Browne, who facilitated the initial collation of the data from the institutions and also the narratives and editing of the publication which followed.
Without their support, the preparation of this document would not have been possible.

Finally, we say thanks to the Education Media Unit who graciously supplied photographs for enhancing the appearance of this publication.

Net intake rate (NIR) in the first grade of primary New entrants in the first grade of primary education that are of the official primary school- entrance age, expressed as a percentage of the population of the same age.

It is the norm that some students may enter the primary system just prior to their 5th birthday.
Gross enrolment ratio (GER) Total enrolment in a specific level of education, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the eligible official school-age population corresponding to the same level of education in a given school year.

The GER shows the general level of participation in a given level of education.

It indicates the capacity of the education system to enroll students of a particular age group.
It can also be a complementary indicator to net enrolment rate (NER) by indicating the extent of over-aged and under-aged enrolment.

1 Net enrolment rate (NER) This refers to the enrolment of the official age group for a given level of education expressed as a percentage of the corresponding population of the official age group.

The NER reflects the extent of coverage in a given level of education of children and youths belonging to the official age group corresponding to the given level of education.
Age specific enrolment rate (ASER) Enrolment of a specific single age enrolled, irrespective of the level of education, as a percentage of the population of the same age.

It is the extent of the educational participation of a specific age cohort.

Percentage of private enrolment Enrolment in private educational institutions at a given level of education expressed as a percentage of total enrolment at the same level.
The measure provides the relative weight of private education in terms of enrolment, hence the scale and capacity of private education within a country.

INTERNAL EFFICIENCY INDICATORS Promotion rate by grade Proportion of pupils from a cohort enrolled in a specific grade of a given school year who study in the next grade in the following school year.
Promotion measures the performance of the education system in advancing pupils from a cohort from grade to grade, and its effect on the internal efficiency of educational systems.

It is also a key indicator for analyzing and projecting pupil flows from grade to grade within the educational cycle.

Repetition rate by grade (RR) Proportion of pupils from a cohort enrolled in a specific grade at a given school year who remain in the same grade in the following school year.
Repetition shows the rate at which 2 pupils from a cohort repeat a grade, and its effect on the internal efficiency of educational systems.

In addition, it is one of the key indicators for analyzing and projecting pupil flows from grade to grade within the educational cycle.

Dropout rate by grade (DR) Proportion of pupils from a cohort enrolled in a given grade at a given school year who are no longer enrolled in the following school year.
Premature exiting measures the phenomenon of pupils from a cohort leaving school without completion, and its effect on the internal efficiency of educational systems.

In addition, it is one of the key indicators for analyzing and projecting pupil flows from grade to grade within the educational cycle.
Transition rate (TR) The number of students admitted to the first grade of a higher level of education in a given year, expressed as a percentage of the number of students enrolled in the final grade of the lower level of education in the previous year.

Transitioning to a higher cycle conveys information on the degree of access or transition from one cycle or level of education to a higher one.
Viewed from the lower cycle or level of education, it is considered as an output indicator, viewed from the higher educational cycle or level, it constitutes an indicator of access.

It can also help in assessing the relative selectivity of an education system, which can be due to pedagogical or financial requirements.

Pupil-teacher ratio (PTR) This is the average number of pupils per teacher at a specific level of education in a given school year.
To measure the level of human resources input in terms of the number of teachers in relation to the size of the pupil population.

The results can be compared with established national norms on the number of pupils per teacher for each level or type of education.
3 Percentage of trained teachers Number of teachers who have received the minimum organized teacher training (pre- service or in-service) required for teaching at the specified level of education in the given country, expressed as a percentage of the total number of teachers at the same level of education.

This measures the proportion of teachers trained in pedagogical skills, according to national standards, to effectively teach and use the available instructional materials.
It reveals also a country's commitment to invest in the development of its human capital involved in teaching activities.

Out-of-school children Children in the official primary school age range who are not enrolled in either primary or secondary schools.

To identify the size of the population in the official primary school age range who should be targeted for policies and efforts in achieving universal primary education.

Public expenditure on education as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product.
Total public expenditure on education (current and capital) expressed as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in a given financial year.

This indicator shows the proportion of a country’s domestic production generated during a given financial year that has been spent by government authorities on education.
Public expenditure on education as a percentage of total government expenditure Total public expenditure on education (current and capital) expressed as a percentage of total government expenditure in a given financial year.

It shows a government's policy emphasis on education relative to the perceived value of other public investments.

It reflects also the commitment of a government to invest in human capital development.
Percentage distribution of public current expenditure on education by level Public current expenditure for each level of education, expressed as a percentage of total public current expenditure on education.

The measure shows how financial resources for 4 education have been distributed across the different levels or stages of education.

It measures the relative emphasis of government spending on a particular level of education within the overall educational expenditure.
Public current expenditure per pupil as a percentage of Gross Domestic Production per capita Public current expenditure per pupil at each level of education, expressed as a percentage of GDP per capita in a given financial year.

This is the share of per capita income spent on each pupil.

It helps in assessing a country’s level of investment in human capital development.
When calculated by level of education, it also indicates the relative costs and emphasis placed by the country on a particular level of education.

Educational attainment of the population aged 15-24 years and above The percentage distribution of population aged 15-24 years and above according to the highest level of education attained or completed with reference to ISCED.

10 Early Childhood Photographs Early Childhood March Sports Day- Arnos Vale Snack time Playtime Relaxing Together Together We Learn 11 Early Childhood Education Presently, there are one hundred and twenty nine (129) early childhood centres.

Of these, 120 are privately operated while the remaining nine are (9) government institutions.

Together, all 129 institutions cater for children between ages three to five years.
The overall enrolment for the 2016-2017 Academic year stood at 3564, which was an increase of 77 over the previous 3487 in 2015-2016.

There are currently 364 children enrolled in the nine government owned early childhood centres and another 3200 in the remaining 120 privately owned institutions which are managed by Church Boards, non-governmental organizations, community groups and other private entities.
This partnership between the government and private institutions to provide early quality care and development to all pre-schoolers is in keeping with the government’s thrust towards the achievement of universal access to Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD).

Significant progress has been made towards the improvement of the quality of the teaching and learning process in this sector.
The government has provided assistance to upgrade the physical environment of a number of privately operated early childhood centres.

Also, the State continues to provide on-going training for preschool teachers and supervisors.

Additionally, the government provides an annual subvention to all privately operated early childhood centres with an enrolment of fifteen or more students.
The overall aim is to ensure that all preschool children access quality early childhood education at minimal or no cost to parents.

Cost reduction and improved access is of even more significance for those children residing in disadvantaged communities who would otherwise be unable to access early childhood services.

This section of the digest provides important data on the Early Childhood Sector for the academic year 2016-2017 on enrolment, staffing and their level of training.

This indicates a drop of 147 students below the 2015-2016 figure which stood at 13,373.

Pupils within the primary cycle are accommodated in sixty eight (68) primary institutions.

Of these institutions, 57 are public and the remaining 11 are government assisted or private.

The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) for the 2016-2017 academic year was 102.17.
This indicates that the sector is able to accommodate the pupils who are between 5-11 years as well as those who enter early just before age 5 and also those who are a bit older.

Hence, from Kindergarten through to Grade 6 there are children who in any of three classifications.

These classifications are “under-aged”, “class-aged” and “over-aged”.
Pupils who are younger than given age of their class and thus be deemed as “under- aged” while those at the specified age for their grade are regarded as “class-aged” and those above age of their class are referred to as “over-aged”.

The Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) was 94.03 which indicates that pupils ages 5-11 years are afforded the requisite space in the education system.

In the primary cycle the majority of the pupils attend government or public institutions as reflected in the 10.76% private enrolment.
Primary education continues to receive the largest share of the education recurrent budget with salaries, wages and allowances accounting for approximately 96% of the allocation.

The recurrent allocation for primary education in 2016 is $44,972,163 which is also inclusive of the pre-primary cycle.

The primary system continues to receive a sizable proportion of the budgetary allocation as the Ministry of Education strives to improve the quality of education throughout the sector.
One of the main provisions is the School Feeding Programme.

This initiative is geared at providing subsidized healthy meals for pupils thereby 46 reducing ill health and boosting their overall learning capacity.

It has been observed that this programme is more heavily subscribed in some rural districts as opposed to urban areas.

Considerable progress has been made in the primary sector, especially over the last 3 years.
The introduction of the Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA) has emphasized student achievement at the end of the cycle.

In its initial year, the overall CPEA pass rate was 78.08%, it then increased to 80.90% in the following year and for this year it augmented again to 85.35% in 2016-2017.
While, the majority of the pupils continue to excel, efforts must be made to assist those who experience difficulties in learning and are thus forced to repeat or worse yet drop out of the cycle for one reason or another.

The following section of the Statistical Digest provides data regarding student enrolment, student performance, the number of repeaters by institution, dropouts, the number of teachers in each institution and their qualifications as well as the expenditure for this sector.
Each of the above categories is further disaggregated by district, institution and gender as appropriate.

 Football Inter Secondary Netball 109 Secondary Education Secondary Education in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is provided by 26 institutions, 19 of which are public.
The remaining seven schools are owned by churches but operate with substantial financial assistance from the Government.

These seven schools are referred to as Assisted Secondary (AS) schools.

In 2016-2017, the overall secondary enrolment stood at 10,113 with the Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) being 105.50 while the Net Enrolment Rate (NER) was 94.36.
The latter shows that the majority of pupils between 12-16 years are retained within the secondary cycle, while the former reflects that there are also pupils who entered early and are “under-aged” as well those who are a bit older and “over-aged”.

The majority of secondary pupils attend public or government secondary schools as shown in the 27.88% private enrolment.

There was only a marginal decline in the overall number of teachers from 706 in 2015- 2016 to 704 in 2016-2017.
Over the last approximately ten (10) years, it was observed that the teaching staff is increasingly comprised of females, and 2016-2017 is no exception.

Of the 704 teachers at the secondary level, 476 are female.

Between the 2015-2016 and 2016- 2017 academic years there was an increase in the proportion of trained teachers from 55.24% to 61.22%.

In 2016-2017, of the overall 431 trained teachers, 302 or 70.07% are female.
While efforts are on-going to improve the skills of the teaching staff, there are still concerns regarding the best measures which could be employed to assist pupils who are not meeting the desired benchmarks or worse yet dropping out of the cycle as seen in the 226 pupils who exited prematurely in 2016-2017.
