5 Executive Summary The Digest of Annual Statistics is produced 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 data shown is reflective of the period 1995-1996 to 2011-2012.

The production of this document provides the basis for the analysis of previous trends, the current situation and establishes the platform from which future projections can be made.
The 2012 Education Statistical Digest assists in filling the void created since 2004 when the last issue was prepared.

The Ministry of Education has divided the country into eleven (11) districts based on geographic location.

Hence, the Statistical Digest seeks to summarize trends in the Education System by exploring trends at the national, district, school and gender levels with specific focus on educational expenditure, teacher qualifications, pupil enrolment and performance.
A synopsis of the figures indicates that there is a decreasing enrolment at the primary level from 21,997 in 1995-1996 to 13,811 in 2011-2012.

This reduction may be partially attributed to a -2.3% decrease in population between 1991 and 20011.

At the secondary level, there was an increase in enrolment from 7,689 in 1995-1996 to 12,026 in 2007-2008 and a decrease to 10,419 in 2011- 2012.
The increased enrolment in the period 2005 to 2010 can be attributed to the introduction of Universal Access to Secondary Education.

Consequently the termination of the senior school system in 2005 resulted in the increased transitioning of pupils into the secondary cycle.

Hence, there was a resulting rapid increase in enrolment until 2010, when the new entrants completed their fifth form education.

6 Introduction In accordance with the mandate conferred upon the Education Planning Unit by the Ministry of Education (MOE), the long overdue 2012 statistical Digest has come to fruition.

This digest contains important data that will assist policy makers, educators and other stakeholders to make informed decisions relating to aspects of the education system in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG).
The Ministry has been working under challenging circumstances to lift the quality of education at all levels.

Teacher training and professional development continue to be given top priority.

Education has consistently received between 18-20% of the national budgetary allocations annually with the primary sector afforded the largest share of that budget.
The government through its education policy dubbed ‘The Education Revolution’ has invested over in a billion Eastern Caribbean Dollars since 2002 to raise the standard of the entire education system.

The government is in full support of the Education for All (EFA) and SVG was able to achieve universal access to secondary education in September, 2005 having already achieved it at the primary level decades before.

The focus is now on achieving universal access at the pre-primary level.
To this end, nine early childhood centres were established by the government in 2009 marking the beginning of public provision of early childhood education in the state.

The use of digital technologies in the classroom to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process continues to be encouraged.
The government through its ‘One Netbook per Child Initiative’ has distributed approximately fifteen thousand netbooks to students in the primary level from Grades Two to Six and to all first formers at the secondary level.

All educational institutions in the State now have 24 -hour access to broadband wireless internet.

The SVGeNet portal has been commissioned and is now being populated with data.
This portal will help to improve the speed in which data are shared between the MOE and educational institutions.

The publication of this digest is therefore timely as the MOE moves to make data more readily available to those in need of such.

The provision of accurate and timely data will make planning for education development and research in education less taxing.

We urge you to make good use of this statistical digest.

Prior to 2005, pupils entered the primary cycle at age 5 and exited at age 15.

At age 11, students who successfully completed the Common Entrance Examination, transitioned to the secondary cycle.

Those who were unsuccessful would subsequently gain entry into the secondary education system at Form 2, up on passing the School Leaving Examination.

However, the introduction of Universal Access to Secondary Education precipitated the termination of the Senior School System at the primary level in 2005.
Since 1995 there has been a continuous decline in enrolment from 21997 to 13811 in 2012.

This is reflective of similar trends in the wider population which also experienced a decline between 1991 and 20012.

A closer examination of the enrolment distribution reflects that the urban institutions have higher enrolment levels than their rural counterparts.
This has created overcrowding in most of the primary schools in and around Kingstown whiles at the same time many of the primary schools in the rural areas are under populated.

Nineteen secondary schools are owned by the Government.

Seven secondary 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.

Of the twenty-six (26) secondary schools, twenty-three (23) are situated on Mainland of St. Vincent and three (3) are in the Grenadines – two on Bequia in the Northern Grenadines and one on Union Island in the Southern Grenadines.
Twenty two secondary schools are co-educational.

There are two single- sex, all-male, secondary schools and two single-sex, all-female, secondary schools.

The policy of universal secondary education was introduced in September, 2002 on a phased basis and was completely implemented by September 2005.

Since then there has been a seamless movement of students aged 11+ years from primary to the secondary schools.
The Common Entrance Examination (CEE) is now used to determine placement in secondary schools and not access to secondary education however by 2014 the Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA) administered by the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) will replaced the CEE.
