This edition of the Education Statistical Digest is being published in the year when we commemorate our fortieth anniversary of independence with a focus on ‘Renewal @ 40 and Beyond.’ Our post-colonial education landscape is constantly changing to cater for the diverse needs of all of our learners.

More and more of our students at all levels are being provided with greater access to quality education.
Our educational institutions are now providing this whole array of students with more possibilities to excel academically and the data show that more and more of our students are matriculating to higher levels of education.

As our education system develops access to information in real time has become the standard, spearheaded by the continuous rise and evolution of social media sites and other avenues for the dissemination of information made possible through advanced digital technologies.
Thus, our Education Statistical Digest in its digital format can now be accessed from any part of the globe without delay.

I am satisfied that the data presented in this publication will be of tremendous use to educators, researchers, policymakers, students and a host of other end users.

I thank everyone who contributed to this edition and urge all users to provide us with any feedback that will help us to improve future publications.
Honourable St. Clair Prince Minister of Education, National Reconciliation and Information xvi Message from the Permanent Secretary (Ag) - Mr. Myccle Burke The evolutionary premise on which flourishing societies are constructed is dictated by the capacity of its intellectual capital to analyze and ultimately manipulate information in a modern competitive globalized world.
The Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines continues to place a high premium on quality Education as the catalyst to achieving the sustainable development goals of this global arena.

This prioritizing of Education as the impetus to development is reflected in the comparatively high percentage of the National Budget allocated for Education in the 2018 budgetary provisions.
Results oriented action has long been the practice of the Ministry of Education and getting value for investment has always been the practice of the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Being provided with useful data in an expeditious manner is critical to measuring performance and ensuring return on investments.
Annually, the assiduous work of key individuals within the organization has resulted in the production of the Education Statistical Digest that has significantly aided the decision making process.

The information captured in the digest provides quantifiable accounts of the performance of the Education sector with a level of public transparency that encourages the establishment of enviable standards.
The detailed nature of the data produced and the findings is representative of the overall school population and is reliable in its description of the realities of the Education system.

It is with unbridled optimism that I present to you this edition of the Education Statistical Digest as a valuable commodity that has the propensity to transform and liberate the docile spectator who is unaware of the inherent power of Education as a vital instrument of national development.
xvii Message from the Chief Education Officer (Ag) - Mrs. Elizabeth Walker As Chief Education Officer (Ag.

), I am delighted to be associated with the 2018 - 2019 edition of the Education Statistical Digest.

This publication comes at a time when the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, through its many partners, is working towards improvement in the quality of education for every child.

Data collection and analysis are critical activities as they drive the decision making process.
Such data must be valid and reliable to ensure confidence in the decisions which assist in navigating the pathways to students’ present and future engagements.

Without empirical data, our technical activities will be superficial, mundane and not evidence-driven.

I thank my technical staff for their contributions to this exercise.
It is hoped that with our vision that “every learner succeeds”; the data provided will guide the implementation of projects and activities and guide strategies to institutionalize policies and practices to realize this vision.

I would also like to thank the Planning Department for its commitment to ensuring that this digest meets all expectations and is delivered in a timely and efficient manner.
xviii Introduction The Education Statistical Digest is reflective of data from the 2000-2001 to 2018-2019 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 2018-2019 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 welcome 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-eight (128) early childhood centres.

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

Of these institutions, 117 are privately operated while the remaining eleven are (11) government institutions.

Together, all 128 institutions cater for children between ages three to five years.
The overall enrolment for the 2018-2019 Academic year stood at 3919, which was an increase of 264 over the previous 3655 in 2017-2018.

There are currently 434 children enrolled in the ten government owned early childhood centres and another 3485 in the remaining 117 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 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 2018-2019 on enrolment, staffing and their level of training.

Average Child/ Care Giver Ratio Primary Education The primary enrolment for 2018-2019 stands at 12,962.

This indicates a decrease of 232 students over the 2017-2018 figure which stood at 13,194.
This may be partially attributable to pupils from the leeward islands returning home following the passage of tropical storms which displaced them from their respective homelands.

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 2018-2019 academic year was 101.50.
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 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 94.02 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 11.31% 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 2018 is $46,021,196 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 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 (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 (40) males and seventeen (17) females, a total of fifty-seven (57) students for the academic year 2018-2019.
Georgetown Special Needs school and the Sunshine School for Children with Special Needs, Bequia enrolment were on par with the former enrolling nineteen (19) males and eight (8) females and the latter nineteen (20) males and thirteen (12) females.

In the 2018-2019 academic year, the overall enrolment in the special needs schools stood at seventy-nine (79) males and thirty-seven (37) females (total 116).
The overall enrolment increased by five (5) students when compared with the previous year which had a total enrolment of one hundred and eleven (111).

The number of males enrolled at all of the school doubled that of 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 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 2018-2019, the overall secondary enrolment stood at 9,510 with the Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) being 99.10 while the Net Enrolment Rate (NER) was 88.89.
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 28.58% private enrolment.

There was a marginal increase in the overall number of teachers from 707 in 2017-2018 to 712 in 2018-2019.
Over the last approximately ten (10) years, it was observed that the teaching staff is increasingly comprised of females, and 2018-2019 is no exception.

Of the 712 teachers at the secondary level, 490 are female.

Between the 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 academic years there was an increase in the proportion of trained teachers from 57.08 % to 62.05%.

In 2018-2019, of the overall 445 trained teachers, 317 or 71.24% 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 188 pupils which declined from the previous year’s 278 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 2018-2019 stood at 258 students, 95 males and 163 females.

The Georgetown Technical Institute enrolled 30 males and 49 females, Kingstown Technical Institute 32 males and 30 males, Campden Park 25 males and 31 females, and Barrouallie Technical Institutes 8 males and 53 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 - Storytelling - - Home-work Club 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 and in all branch libraries.
186 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 and two other Branch Libraries 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 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.
