This Annual statistical digest emphasizes the 2014 statistical data and indicators on Education sector.

Most indicators are relevant for policy development, planning, monitoring and evaluation and most of them were extracted from the Vanuatu Education Management Information System (VEMIS).
These indicators and other administrative data included in this digest could be used as evidence-based information to support the implementation of the national education development strategies and its monitoring and evaluation progresses against the national strategic goals and the commitments in meeting the Education For All (EFA) and the Millennium Development (MDG) goals by 2015.

The purpose of the Education Statistics Digest (ESD) is to provide sound statistical information on education in Vanuatu.
The data coverage includes school information, enrolment, teacher recruitment, educational outcomes and on the financial aspect of education system.

The Digest is presented or divided into three main sections.

The first section contains statistical data on ECCE, Basic Education primary and the secondary education followed by the data on post-secondary institutions including Rural Training Centers.
The third section covers scholarship data followed by the exam’s results and the last section covers data on education finance.

Since the Ministry of Education and Training is responsible for its policies and actions, including the achievement of national and international goals, the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework Indicators will be used to report against in the Annual Statistical Digest.
I congratulate the Ministry and its staffs for producing this Annual Statistical Digest with the assistance of donor partners in assisting the Ministry of Education and Training towards the Open VEMIS initiative.

I also want to extend my gratitude to South Pacific Commission for their technical inputs in the analysis of this report.

Lastly, thanks to all who have contributed to the development of this edition of digest.

John Niroa Former Director of Policy and Planning Unit Annual Statistical Digest, 2014 `5 Key results Increasing Access to education In 2014, School enrolment has increased by 3% as compared to 2013.

The graph on the right shows the total number of students who are enrolled in ECCE, Primary and Secondary in 2014.

Since 2010, the total enrolment has been increasing each year across the three educational levels of.

In 2010, the total enrolment was at 71,353 students and 79,376 in 2014.
The summary enrolment data includes in all students who are enrolled government, government assisted, community and private schools.

At ECCE different level, Education stakeholders development and partners particularly Australia and New their Zealand prioritized funding support into improving the ECCE development.

Funding and technical resources were earmarked through the Vanuatu Education Sector Programme (VESP) and from other important donors and NGOs to ensure that children are going to school.

However, although progress was made across all levels, there are still other challenges which require close attention.
These include the numbers of the out-of-school children which is 11.7% for children aged 6-11 years old and the under and over-aged students in kindergarten, primary and secondary schools.

July 2015 In 2014 the GER increased by 1.5% to a total of 75.9% as compared to the 2013 GER at all levels of education which indicate of participation regardless of age specific.
The GER and NER for secondary level outline in this figure is taking into account years 7 - 14 degree the Policy-makers are not only children’s concerned with access and participation in also education student’s concerned about achievement.
but are Annual Statistical Digest, 2014 `6 31% 88% NER Secondary NER Primary 1-6 42% NER ECCE 44% GER, Secondary, 7+ 121% GER Primary 1-6 63% The NER indicates that at all levels of education age specific participation is less than 90% and that shows that our children have entered the first grade at a later age or are not progressing regularly through the next year levels and that the system’s internal efficiency could be improved.
GER ECCE It is essential to remind everyone that the national indicators may differ from the international indicators because of differences between national education levels and the age grouping under the International Standard Classification Education (ISCED) classification; or differences in coverage (i.e.

the extent to which different types of education - e.g.

private or special education or different types of programmes e.g.

adult education or early childhood care and education are offered).
While there is an increase on ECCE total enrolment in 2014, the NER in ECCE remains steady at 43%, within the age specific group of 4 – 5 years that are enrolled in the kindergarten schools.

Net enrolment in primary education has increased to 88% in 2014 as compared to 86.3% in 2013.

At secondary level, NER has shown a slight increase from 33.0% in 2013 to 34.9% in 2014.
This is due to decrease in low enrolment of new entrants to first year level in secondary education in the official school age population (13 – 19 years) and those in that official age leaving the system.

The official age groups being selected to calculate the NER for primary are 6 to 12 years old.

When the NER is compared with the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) the difference between the two ratios highlights the incidence of under- aged and over-aged enrolment in the education system.
A sharp discrepancy between the GER and the NER indicates that many children enter at the first level of Primary Education at a later age.

Annual Statistical Digest, 2014 `7 Gender parity index (GPIs) are frequently used to examine progress towards the goals established by countries on gender equality.

The Gender Parity Index (GPI) in primary and secondary education is greater than 1, which indicates a favor to females in the 2014 data.
There are more girls enrolling in schools at the primary and secondary levels than boys.

.

This shows that the Ministry of Education and Training needs to consider reviewing the Gender Equity in the Education Policy 2005 – 2015 and look at why and what ways to encourage both female and male to enroll at these levels of education.

.

There are different sets of exams that set different pathways on students’ learning in Vanuatu.
The TVET in schools offers TVET in school programs to conventional students (years 7 – 13), Higher TVET Institution such as the Vanuatu Institute of Technology, Maritime College, Nursing School, Vanuatu Institute of Teacher Education and the Police College offers higher level courses and the Rural Training Centers (RTC) that offers basic courses.
However, transition from formal to non-formal education cannot be tracked in the current VEMIS, although data on TVET and vocational and technical schools is also captured in this report.

Improve Quality of Education for ALL students in Vanuatu 1,449 Number of Certified & Qualified teachers, 2014 It is acknowledged globally that education is an effective means for social reconstruction and to a great extent it offers solutions to the problems that Vanuatu society is currently facing.
These problems may be economical, social, cultural, political, moral, ecological and educational.

Since teachers are playing a key role in the education of all children, their own education becomes a matter of vital concern.

The VEMIS records a total of 3,729 teachers in ECCE, Primary and Secondary Schools in the country.
Among the total number of teachers, 1,449 teachers are qualified meaning that they had minimum skills on areas of teaching and did not attend formal learning system required for providing teaching services.

In addition to their educational background, only 2,348 teachers are certified to teach meaning that they went through specific teacher trainings, refer to the above graph for more information on teacher’s qualification by sector level.

July 2015 The GER values in primary education exceed 110% in 2014 for Tafea, Sanma, Malampa and Penama Provinces.

In Shefa and Torba province, the GER is between 110% and 120%which indicates that the provinces are still able to accommodate all their school-age population.

The Net enrolment rate in primary education denotes a high coverage for the official school-age population in Sanma, Tafea, Malampa and Penama province.

However, the NER in Torba province ranges between 80-90 percent in 2014.
The difference with 100% could provide a measure of the proportion of student not enrolled at primary schools.

Province Key results Increase on Number of Schools and enrolment in VANUATU, 2010 and 2014 Annual Statistical Digest, 2014 `11 Enrolment and school level, 2010 – 2014 In the ECCE level, school enrolment is declining gradually particularly at Penama, Sanma and Torba provinces.

At Secondary level, the number of students also shows a slight decrease on school enrolment in Malampa, and Penama.
It’s worth finding out why these decreases are happening and why students are leaving schools.

The number of pupils in primary has increased across all provinces in 2014 as compared to 2010.

On the other hand, the number of students in Kindergartern is worrying.

It covers all level of education statistics including data related to tertiary level.

This report highlight some key indicators that are relevant for policy and planning purposes and to monitor progress against the national, regional and international goals.

There are various national policies that are developed and continuous development of the new policies and standards that were initiated by the Ministry of Education and Training.
The Ministry of Education and Training currently develop a draft monitoring and evaluation framework to be able to measure progress on the three main strategic goals such as improving ACCESS, QUALITY and MANAGEMENT.

Data published in this report also include section on post-secondary institution.
The purpose of including data from post-secondary institutions is to show the transition links between students who have started their schooling in ECCE and those who continues through either formal education or non-formal education.
MOET Policy Goals Improve Access Improve Quality Improve Management Despite the striving efforts from MOET to meet its policy goals, other development incentives were initiated to support the non-formal education system like TVET schooling, APTC trainings and tertiary post-secondary institutions.
A new initiative from MoET with assistance from UNICEF and UNESCO Institute for Statistics has been introduced in 2014 to conduct a research study on the out-of-school children in Vanuatu from primary to junior secondary level.

Second chances schooling opportunities are offered through USP for those students who dropped out after year 10, year 12, and year 13 exams.
The MOET has also developed a concept paper on Flexible and distance learning which is also another learning pathway for all Vanuatu citizens e.g.

Students and people who are already on job.

All the joints efforts and commitments from both government and donor’s partners are linked to one of the government priority action agenda which is to improve literacy and numeracy in education across all level of education.

The GER in primary education exceeds 100 percent since 2009 due to the inclusion of over-aged and under-aged students and repeaters.

However, primary gross enrolment rate continue to increase from 2009 to 2012 and later decreased in 2013 and increased again in 2014.

Despite the minor decrease experienced in 2013, the continuous allocation of school grants to the government and government assisted primary schools shows a positive impact on student’s participation in primary schools each year.
The difference between the GER and the NER in primary education measures the incidence of under-age and over-age enrolment.

There are 12 % of students who are 6-11 years old are not enrolled in primary schools in 2014.

Internal efficiency indicator The average co-efficiency of efficiency in primary education is at 76% in 2014.

This reflects the impact of high repetition and dropout on the efficiency of Vanuatu education process in producing graduates.
Repetition rate in primary education decreased by 1% in 2014 as compared to 2013.

The repetition rate in primary education is high at 14.4% in 2014 and it could reveals problems in the internal efficiency of Annual Statistical Digest, 2014 `20 the educational system and possible reflect a poor level of instruction.

At the secondary level, the repetition rate is at 3% in 2014, it determines good impact on education policies or practices of automatic promotion in secondary schools.
Dropout rate in Primary education ranges from 5% to 6% in 2013 and 2014.

Ideally, the dropout rate should approach 0%.

However, the dropout rate in primary is low and this shows a positive impact on the automatic promotion policy for Primary education.

At secondary level, the dropout rate is at 34% in 2014 and it is very high.

Thus, it could reveal problems in the internal efficiency of the educational system.

The Education authorities play an important role in the sustainable development of the Education system.

The Vanuatu government through the Provincial Education Boards administered 93.6% of primary and secondary schools in the country.

According to the Education Act No.9 of 2014 the Education Authorities are mandated to provide information and report on their schools to the Director General as he/she may requested in writing.

The level of government funding a school receives does not affect whether it is a government school or a non-government school.

However, it is difficult to determine what type of curriculum these schools are using but most of them were officially registered with the Ministry of Education Training.

The non- government primary and secondary school are basically administered by churches, communities or individuals.
According to the above graph, 67.5% of primary school students enrolled in the government primary schools and 28.2% enrolled in secondary schools.

The remaining 4.4% of students enrolled non- government primary and secondary schools.

At the end of junior secondary schooling, year 10 students sat the national year 10 exam.

The year 10 examination determines the number of year 10 students who will continue on to year 11.

1.1.4 Mono-lingual, bi-lingual and dual lingual The Education language policy encourages all children in the early years of schooling to start their education in their mother tongue, while most of the primary schools used either English or French language as a medium of instruction from year 4 onwards.
All learning and teaching resources were also made available in either English or French language.

The review of the new curriculum was done using both languages and also done in Bislama for the kindergarten schools.

The total average promotion rate in primary education 1-6 has fluctuated over time.

The promotion rate in both primary and secondary schools is derived by analysing data on enrolment and repeaters by grade for two consecutive years (e.g.

An official process has been established in 2012 to help schools and communities to be able to register a school before that the school operates.

In addition to the school registration process, 90% of primary schools that have been registered with the MOET have received school grants allocation from 2010 to 2014.

The Ministry of Education and Training through the School Based Management unit has started to review the 15 minimum quality standards for the primary schools.
Each standard has four different indicators, which provide a detailed description of the situation in school.

The indicators described under each standard progress from level 1 (desired situation in school) to level 4 (minimum required situation in school).

School Committees should ensure that their school reaches at least level 4 on each of the standards.
At the same time, they should aspire to reach the level that has been identified by the Ministry of Education and Development Partners in line with the Corporate Plan (2011-2015).

Quality of Education 2.1 Literacy and Numeracy This summary is based on the four reports outlining the Francophone and Anglophone samples taken from the National Year 4 and Year 6 survey in 2004-05 and 2009.

Each report contains extensive data for numeracy and literacy broken down by curriculum stand, gender and province.

The lack of data from tests for statistical significance reduce confidence when evaluating changes from 2004-05 to 2009.
The major change from 2004-05 to 2009 is for more “Decline” than “Improves” in performance at both Lc and L3+.

Age Source: Vanuatu Education Management Information system (VEMIS) This indicator shows the overall level of development of the education system in Vanuatu in terms of the number of years of education that a child of a certain age can expect to achieve.
A relatively higher school life expectancy indicates a greater probability for children to spend more years in education and higher overall retention within the education system.

It is noted that the expected number of years does not necessarily match with the expected number of year levels of education completed, because of high repetition rate.
