We endeavour each year to improve the standard and the accuracy of the information provided and to make the publication more user friendly.

Much Obliged.
Much Obliged.

Honourable St. Clair Prince Minister of Education, National Reconciliation and Information xv Message from the Permanent Secretary- Mrs. Morine Williams The Ministry of Education in St. Vincent and the Grenadines continues to receive a significant proportion of the National Budget to carry out its programme of activities.
Thus, as we push for greater efficiency and effectiveness in the education system, we have begun to rely a lot more on hard data to guide our decision making process instead of intuition.

The collection, processing and reporting of accurate data on the performance of the education sector are vital steps as we work to attain the various targets of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) by 2030.
Without hard data it will be very challenging to ascertain and keep track of our progress as we work to achieve all of the set targets.

Hence, I cannot over emphasize the importance and usefulness of the production of the annual education Statistical Digest.

The Education Statistical Digest produced annually by the Ministry of Education is a source of information that helps with the planning, management and the reporting on the performance of the education system in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
It is the main data source used to supply information to our Central Statistical Office, OECS Commission, CARICOM, UNESCO and a host of other organisations.

Many persons look forward to this annual publication.

I hope that we would have met or surpassed the expectations of everyone with the quality of the data provided in this the 2017- 2018 edition of the Education Statistical Digest.
xvi Message from the Chief Education Officer - Ms. Beverly Neptune Accountability has been the buzzword in education for a number of years.

Principals, teachers and education officials are all held accountable by our numerous stakeholders in education.

As guardians of the education system, we have to rely on accurate data to plan and implement policies that will benefit the children entrusted to our care.
It is therefore essential that we all make a concerted effort to ensure that the information provided is reliable and can be validated.

The data collected should be used for diagnostic purposes that will help to improve the teaching and learning situation at educational institutions.

Data reporting should not be seen as a mundane task that is merely procedural but one that is purposeful.

Schools are therefore encouraged to utilize the data for institutional development in a timely manner.
I therefore commend institutional heads for sharing all of the required data in a timely manner with the Education Planning Unit.

The annual Education Statistical Digest provides useful information on the performance of the education system in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

It is a very user-friendly publication that is widely available to the general public online.
As the Chief Education Officer, I am proud that we are able to produce our Annual Education Statistical Digest that provides data which helps to improve our transparency and accountability.

It is my hope that schools, parents and the general public will make good use of this document.

xvii Introduction The Education Statistical Digest is reflective of data from the 2000-2001 to 2017-2018 Academic Year.
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 2017-2018 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.

Hence, we pause again to say thanks.

xviii 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, who has worked tirelessly in providing student performance data.

Also, Mrs. Jozene Franklyn and Ms. Samantha Ferdinand, who facilitated the initial data collection and collation from the institutions.

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 not have been possible.
Finally, we 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 did a fabulous job in designing our cover page.

10 Early Childhood Education Presently, there are one hundred and twenty-five (125) early childhood centres.

Of these, 115 are privately operated while the remaining ten are (10) government institutions.

Together, all 125 institutions cater for children between ages three to five years.

The overall enrolment for the 2017-2018 Academic year stood at 3655, which was an increase of 91 over the previous 3564 in 2016-2017.
There are currently 399 children enrolled in the ten government owned early childhood centres and another 3256 in the remaining 115 privately owned institutions which are managed by various 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).
The government has provided assistance to upgrade the physical environment of a number of privately operated early childhood centres.

Approximately, 90 care givers, from various institutions were trained in the importance of record keeping and data management between September and December 2018.

There are plans underway to attempt to offer similar instruction to the remaining care givers who have not yet been so exposed.
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 2017-2018 on enrolment, staffing and their level of training.

This indicates an increase of 168 students over the 2016-2017 figure which stood at 13,026.

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 2017-2018 academic year was 103.40.

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 95.36 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 11.21% 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 2017 is $44,869,159 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.
Teacher professional development continues to receive the greatest support and remains an important component in several of the projects currently being implemented.

49 The OECS Education Support Project financed by the Global Partnership for education is currently being implemented to improve the teaching and learning situation at the primary level in the four Windward Islands.
The Key objectives of this project are to (i) use quality learning standards to support evidence based teaching and learning at the primary level; (ii) improve teacher practices at the primary level; (iii) strengthen primary school leadership and accountability and (iv) initiate the strengthening of sector monitoring and evaluation in support of evidence-based strategic management and decision making, in participating states.
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.

Special Needs Education Special Needs Education is provided for those students whose needs cannot be met in the mainstream schools.
This doesn’t include the exceptional or gifted students who may also have special educational needs.

There are three such schools, one in Kingstown, one in Georgetown and the other in Bequia.

The School for Children with Special Needs Kingstown has the largest enrolment of students 39 males and 16 females, a total of 55 students for the academic year 2017-2018.
Georgetown Special Needs school and the Sunshine School for Children with Special Needs, Bequia enrolment were on par with the former enrolling 19 males and 8 females and the latter 19 males and 10 females.

In the 2017-2018 academic year, the overall enrolment in the special needs schools stood at 77 males and 34 females (total 111).

The overall enrolment decreased by two students when compared with the previous year which had a total enrolment of 113.
The number of males enrolled at all of the school doubled that of females.

This has been the case since the academic year 2015-2016.

Special education continues to receive the impetus and support from the government in order meet the needs of these learners.

To this extent, the government under the SVG Human Development Service Delivery Project has allocated resources to support professional development training for special needs teachers and to provide other resources for the schools.
The project will provide support to teachers to improve their pedagogical skills which should provide variety in both the teaching and learning processes.

The policy of the government is that all arrangements must be made to ensure that all students including those with special educational needs receive effective learning opportunities.
The long term goal is to move towards implementation of inclusive education through increased integration of students with special education needs into primary and secondary schools.

The remaining eight schools are owned by churches but operate with substantial financial assistance from the Government.

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

In 2017-2018, the overall secondary enrolment stood at 9,808 with the Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) being 102.29 while the Net Enrolment Rate (NER) was 85.36.
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 28.27% private enrolment.

There was a marginal increase in the overall number of teachers from 704 in 2016-2017 to 707 in 2017-2018.
Over the last approximately ten (10) years, it was observed that the teaching staff is increasingly comprised of females, and 2017-2018 is no exception.

Of the 707 teachers at the secondary level, 482 are female.

Between the 2015-2016 and 2017- 2018 academic years there was an increase in the proportion of trained teachers from 57.08 % to 58.22%.

In 2017-2018, of the overall 413 trained teachers, 290 or 70.21% 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 278 pupils who exited prematurely in 2017-2018.

The Division of Technical Vocation Education and Training of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College offers TVET programmes at the post-secondary level.

The overall enrolment for the 2017-2018 stood at 248 students, 118 males and 130 females.

The Georgetown Technical Institute enrolled 36 males and 21 females, Kingstown Technical Institute 36 males and 30 males, Campden Park 37 males and 27 females, and Barrouallie Technical Institutes 9 males and 52 females.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines passed the Sector Skills Development Act in 2010 and the TVET Certification Framework has been established enabling the country to issue National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and Caribbean Vocational Qualifications (CVQs).

To date a number of students have received their Caribbean Vocational Qualification in several areas.
The Sector Skills Development Agency (SSDA) and its secretariat, the National Qualifications Department (NQD) is responsible for developing TVET Training programs, as well as NVQ and CVQ certification.

The SSDA also delivers small-scale training to unemployed youth, through Technical Institutes (TIs) under the Ministry of Education’s jurisdiction.

The government is focussed on enhancing the system’s capacity for TVET Delivery.
To this end the TVET Development Project financed by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and a sub–component of the SVG Human Development Service Delivery Project (SVGHDSP) would address the long and short-term capacity-building needs for expanding access to TVET programmes and improving the learning environment of TVET instruction and management.
The CDB project also includes the construction of smart classrooms at the four Technical Institutes which would expand the teaching and learning capacity at these institutes.

TVET education during the last two budget cycles has received the largest share of the Ministry’s Capital Programmes.

This significant investment in TVET education should position many of our youths to gain employment in a range of diverse vocational fields.
