These are words we have heard repeatedly from our elders and scribes.

The lesson intended is simple yet profound; achieving your goals requires a strategy, a set of actions and timelines.

This is true at the personal or micro level as it is true at the organizational or macro level.

The Ministry of Education operates at the macro level.

It is charged with the responsibility of planning and managing the development of education in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
A critical factor in helping the Ministry to accomplish its goals is the timely production and availability of educational data from which accurate, valid and reliable information can be extrapolated.

Such information can be extracted from this edition of the Educational Statistical Digest.
It was compiled against the background of an expanding education system that is seeking through a veritable education revolution to transform our economy and society from the legacies of a colonial past to a modern- competitive economy and a progressive society.

Consequently, our education system places great emphasis on enhancing the access, quality and relevance of the education provided.
Thus, the data provided in this Statistical Digest provides the basis for the analysis of our efforts in this regard and the subsequent development of informed policy initiatives to help us to consolidate and further expand our education revolution.

The 2019-20 edition of the Digest, thus, represents an important source of information for all stakeholders in the education sector and the broader community.
I am therefore pleased to share this important document with our various stakeholders of education, policymakers, and the general public.

Moreover, I am comfortable in the knowledge that it will be of critical value to those engage in education planning, management, development and research.

Finally, I thank the Education Planner, his team and all those who contributed to the publication of this most valuable document.
xvi Message from the Permanent Secretary- Mr. Myccle Burke The importance of data to the decision-making process has resulted in the annual production of the Statistical Digest by the Education Planning Unit within the Ministry of Education and National Reconciliation.

Each page of the Digest provides insight into the functioning of the Education system, capturing enrolment, reflecting the rate of attrition and repetition.
Quality education remains the critical goal of the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the staff of the Ministry of Education work assiduously with its stakeholders to realize this objective.

The fulfilling of this mandate has not been without challenges in a truncated academic year that has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the explosive eruption of La Soufriere.
Momentum gained was forcibly dissipated in an unpredictable environment that required ingenuity and an emphasis on the use of technology at the forefront of learning and instruction.

The travails of the academic year deepened the resolve of our educators and demonstrated the resilience of an evolving system buoyed by the investments in technological devices and learning software by the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The demand for quality data intensified in a year of unprecedented challenges, as the face of education and its delivery became more complex.

Information was requested by various entities, locally, regionally, and internationally and the provision of the requisite information resulted in support for our education system by these organizations.
The increased need for data and the difficulties associated with its timely supply, makes it incumbent that investments be made in a synchronous management information system that is easily accessible.

Similar investments must be made in expanding the knowledge and competency of our human resource to productively manipulate these systems to the benefit of all stakeholders.
xvii Message from the Chief Education Officer- Mrs. Elizabeth Walker Against the background of Dengue, COVID-19 and our recent volcanic eruption, we were still able to produce our annual Educational Statistical Digest for 2019-2020.

As the Chief Education Officer, I warmly welcome this publication and commend its insights to all those interested in the business of education in the region and beyond.
The Education Sector relies heavenly on accurate data to guide policies and development based on the evidence provided.

This publication provides pertinent data on our education system from early childhood to tertiary education which will help us to strategically plan and monitor the sector more effectively.

Certainly, the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the education landscape and has forced us to rethink the way we do things in education.
We were forced to move from face to face to online to continue teaching and learning for our students.

The COVID-19 pandemic has opened up our eyes to the harsh reality of its adverse impact on the education system.

We have to ensure that we capture the relevant data that will assist us so as not to further exacerbate the current setbacks confronting us due to the pandemic.

This crisis has provided the opportunity for us to be more innovative and engaging with digital technologies.
We have lots of work to do to ensure that no child is left behind in these challenging times.

I urge stakeholders to analysis the data provided and to make meaningful inferences that will help to improve the education system at all levels.

I wish to express sincerest thanks all those persons who have contributed to the production of this publication.

May God continue to bless us.

xviii Introduction The Education Statistical Digest is reflective of data from the 2000-2001 to 2019-2020 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 2019-2020 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.

xix 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, Mrs. Jozene Franklyn, and Ms. Samantha Ferdinand, 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 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 continues to maintain her usual high standard in designing our cover page.

10 Early Childhood Education Presently, there are one hundred and twenty-four (124) early childhood centres.

This tally is based on the number of registered institutions that responded to the Annual School Questionnaire.

Of these institutions, one hundred and thirteen (113) are privately operated while the remaining eleven (11) are government institutions.
Together, all one hundred and twenty-four (124) institutions cater for babies up to two years in Day Care and children between ages three (3) to five (5) years in Preschools.

The overall enrolment for the 2019-2020 Academic year stood at three thousand seven hundred and four (3704), which was a decrease of two hundred and fifteen (215) from the previous three thousand nine hundred and nineteen (3919) in 2018-2019.
There are currently three hundred and eighty-five (385) children enrolled in the eleven (11) government owned early childhood centres and another three thousand three hundred and nineteen (3319) in the remaining one hundred and fourteen (114) 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.
Additionally, the government provides an annual subvention to all privately operated early childhood centres with an enrolment of fifteen (15) 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 2019-2020 on enrolment, staffing and their level of training.

This indicates an increase of sixty-seven (67) students over the 2018-2019 figure which stood at twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty-two (12,962).

Pupils within the primary cycle are accommodated in sixty-eight (68) primary institutions.
Of these institutions, fifty-seven (57) are public and the remaining eleven (11) are government assisted or private.

The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) for the 2019-2020 academic year was 102.47.

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 those who remain beyond age 11.

Hence, from Kindergarten through to Grade 6 there are children who fit in any of three classifications.
These classifications are “under-aged”, “class-aged” and “over-aged”.

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

The Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) was 94.01 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 11.44% 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 2019 is $48,357, 462 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 49 professional development continues to receive the greatest support and remains an important component in several of the projects currently being implemented.
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 (4) Windward Islands.
The Key objectives of this project are to: (i) use quality learning standards to support evidence based teaching and learning at (ii) (iii) (iv) 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 educational needs are provided for those students whose learning requirements cannot be met in the mainstream schools.
This does not include the exceptional or gifted students who may also have special educational needs.

There are three (3) 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, forty-three (43) males and twenty (20) females, a total of sixty-three (63) students for the academic year 2019-2020.
Georgetown Special Needs school and the Sunshine School for Children with Special Needs, Bequia enrolment were on par with the former enrolling sixteen (16) males and six (6) females and the latter nineteen (19) males and ten (10) females.

In the 2019-2020 academic year, the overall enrolment in the special needs schools stood at seventy-eight (78) males and thirty-six (36) females (total 114).
The overall enrolment decreased by two (2) students when compared with the previous year which had a total enrolment of one hundred and sixteen (116).

The number of males enrolled at all of the institutions doubled that of the females except in Sunshine School in Bequia.

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 (8) schools are owned by churches but operate with substantial financial assistance from the Government.

These eight (8) schools are referred to as Assisted Secondary (AS) schools.

In 2019-2020, the overall secondary enrolment stood at nine thousand three hundred and fifty-one (9,351) with the Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) being 97.86 while the Net Enrolment Rate (NER) was 81.31.
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 29.01% private enrolment.
There was an increase in the overall number of teachers from seven hundred and twelve (712) in 2018-2019 to seven hundred and sixty-six (766) in 2019-2020.

Over the last approximately ten (10) years, it was observed that the teaching staff is increasingly comprised of females, and 2019-2020 is no exception.

Of the seven hundred and sixty-six (766) teachers at the secondary level, five hundred and nineteen (519) are female.
Between the 2015-2016 and 2019-2020 academic years there was an increase in the proportion of trained teachers from 57.08 % to 62.01%.

In 2019-2020, of the overall four hundred and seventy-five (475) trained teachers, three hundred and thirty-two (332) or 70.0% 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 one hundred and eighty-eight (188) pupils which declined from the previous year’s two hundred and fifty-seven (257) who exited prematurely in 2019-2020.

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 2019-2020 stood at two hundred and forty-five (245) students, one hundred and nineteen (119) males and one hundred and twenty-six (126) females.
The Georgetown Technical Institute enrolled thirty-seven (37) males and thirty-eight (38) females, Kingstown Technical Institute thirty (30) males and twenty-five (25) females, Campden Park twenty-five (25) males and twenty-nine (29) females, and Barrouallie Technical Institutes twenty-seven (27) males and thirty-four (34) 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.
The Long-term goal is to have all students enrolled in at least one TVET related programme.

The National Public Library, Archives and Documentation Services network consists of twenty-three (22) libraries, a National Archives and a Documentation Centre.

The National Public Library, located in Kingstown, the capital of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is the main library while there are twenty-two (22) branch libraries situated throughout the rest of the country.
The Documentation Centre was established in 1982, and its role has been to provide social and economic information emanating from government documents, policy makers, the public, the private sector, and researchers.

The National Archives was established in 1990.

The National Archives collects, organizes, preserves and stores records and documents related to the history of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Programmes Programmes implemented in most of the libraries are aimed at encouraging reading for education as well as recreation.

These programmes are also aimed at developing academic and other necessary skills.

These programmes are: - Book Club - Story telling - Remedial Reading - - - Home-work Club Storytelling Literacy programmes - HYPE: Helping Young People Excel programme, held during the July – August vacation, for children ages 13 – 17 years.
This programme is only held at the National Public Library.

- CLAP for Fun Programme for children 5 – 12 years, also held during the July – August vacation.

This programme is held at the National Public Library and fifteen (15) branch libraries.

There are two computer rooms that offer internet service.

Wi-Fi services are also available at the National Public Library, the National Archives and Documentation Centre and in all branch libraries.
189 The Department also manages a Facebook page, which advertises the various services and programmes offered by the library.

Library Management Software The information management system used at the National Public Library, Calliaqua Branch Library and the Georgetown Branch Library is Alexandria.

Alexandria is an application that helps to manage the library collection and allows patrons to fully access the bibliographic data of this collection.
The other branch libraries still issue books manually by using the Brown System.

All books and other resources are processed centrally at the National Public Library in Kingstown.

They are then distributed to all branch libraries throughout the country.

The way forward The National Public Library, Archives and Documentation Centre will continue to implement and develop programmes and services that will benefit the citizens of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The library’s collection will be further strengthened by the incorporation of various media to meet the evolving informational needs of our diverse communities.

The library’s commitment to developing a service for the blind will continue through the sourcing and provision of material.

The promotion and development of a positive image of the profession and the Department will continue through training and marketing.
Library hours will be extended in order to increase accessibility to the library and to ensure that the growing information needs of the public are met.
