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 2020-2021 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.
Also we say thanks to the staf of the national Public Library, Archives and Documentation Centre for their invaluable input in making the completion of this document a reality.

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, we say thanks to Ms. Cameshe Samuel, 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 pages.

xx Foreword from the Honourable Minister ‘Those who fail to plan, plan to fail’!

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 provide 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 Education in the 21st century is multidimensional with increasing complexities and threats that are systemic and environmental.

The challenges presented to contemporary learner and instructor in the wake of a global pandemic, have resulted in the exploration of more creative and diverse approaches to learning and development.
The use of technology has increased exponentially and virtual learning and instruction has been predominantly employed to mitigate potential learning loss that is the natural consequence of limited face-to-face engagement.

The experience of St. Vincent and the Grenadines in this pandemic environment has been compounded by resource limitations, natural disasters and the need to navigate unfamiliar terrains.
The contents of this edition of St. Vincent and the Grenadines Educational Statistical Digest should not be interpreted as mere quantitative outputs but interpreted and examined as a story of resilience and resurgence.

Inside every figure, word, graph or chart is a tale of triumph of our Education system through the exploits of government, administrators, principals, teachers, students and other stakeholders.
The collective contributions of consenting and dissenting voices found expression in the creative responses aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of multiple threats on our Education system.

The review period in the Educational Statistical Digest proved to one of exploration and discovery as gaps were identified, creative solutions discovered and resources increased.
Data needs intensified and the demand for different types of information from the policy directorate typified this period of unprecedented challenges.

The recognition of data gaps propelled the Education Planning Unit to revise multiple research instruments in an effort to expand the data captured.

Empirical evidence suggests that there is a strong correlation between reliable data and sound decision making.
The Education Planning Unit within the Ministry of Education and National Reconciliation continues to provide comprehensive information to inspire policy amendments and developments that will improve the quality and benefits of the education product.

xvii Message from the Chief Education Officer Once again, the Ministry of Education has produced an Education Statistical Digest which should be used by all stakeholders to guide policy creation and decision-making measures.
Since time immemorial, studies have suggested that data considerations should play a pivotal role in the decision-making process.

The use of data is likely to make the policies and decisions surrounding education more impactful for our Vincentian students.

Stakeholders too can use the information to help them to channel their resources which would inevitably lead to improved student outcomes .

Merely looking at the data however, is not enough.


Through data analysis, we must identify trends, correlations and coefficients in order to adjust systems, mitigate against those things which threaten to impede the progress of the education sector and build on the foundation of those practices which we do well.

We therefore need to be mindful of how the data translates into creating workable policies geared towards improving and enhancing the sector.
As the new Chief Education Officer, I give you the assurance that my team and I will continue to be guided by the information presented herein, in order to respond to the dynamism of our education sector.

We will do so using the data provided as well as facilitating more frequent stakeholder engagements to give further meaning to the data.

I encourage all stakeholders to do the same.


I wish to thank all the school leaders and the Education Planner’s Office for all the work done to get this information to publication.

Enjoy this year’s digest and I trust that you will approach it with an open, objective and critical mind.

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

Of these institutions, one hundred and four (104) are privately operated while the remaining fourteen (14) are government institutions.
Together, all one hundred and eighteen (118) institutions cater for babies up to two years in Day Care while children between ages three (3) to five (5) years are cared for in the Preschool setting.

The overall enrolment for the 2020/21 Academic year stood at three thousand one hundred and forty-two (3142), which was a decrease of five hundred and sixty-two (562) from the previous three thousand seven hundred and four (3704) in 2019-2020.
There are currently four hundred and six (406) children enrolled in the fourteen (14) government owned early childhood centres and another two thousand seven hundred and thirty-six (2736) 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 provides 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 2020-2021 on enrolment, staffing and their level of training.

This indicates a decrease of one hundred and sixty-four (164) students over the 2019-2020 figure which stood at thirteen thousand and twenty-nine (13,029).

Pupils within the primary cycle are accommodated in sixty-seven (67) primary institutions.
Of these institutions, fifty-seven (57) are public and the remaining ten (10) are government assisted or private.

The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) for the 2020/2021 academic year was 100.59.

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 92.32 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 11.01% 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 2020 is $50,081, 136 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.

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-five (45) males and twenty-five (25) females, a total of seventy (70) students for the academic year 2020-2021.
Georgetown Special Needs school and the Sunshine School for Children with Special Needs, Bequia enrolment were on par with the former enrolling seventeen (17) males and seven (7) females and the latter fifteen (15) males and nine (9) females.

In the 2020-2021 academic year, the overall enrolment in the special needs schools stood at seventy-seven (77) males and forty-one (41) females (total 118).
The overall enrolment increased by four (4) students when compared with the previous year which had a total enrolment of one hundred and fourteen (114).

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 2020-2021, the overall secondary enrolment stood at nine thousand six hundred and three (9,603) with the Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) being 99.92 while the Net Enrolment Rate (NER) was 82.32.
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 28.48% private enrolment.
There was an increase in the overall number of teachers from seven hundred and sixty-six (766) in 2019-2020 to seven hundred and ninety-nine (799) in 2020-2021.

Over the last approximately ten (10) years, it was observed that the teaching staff is increasingly comprised of females, and 2020- 2021 is no exception.

Of the seven hundred and ninety-nine (799) teachers at the secondary level, five hundred and forty-five (545) are female.
Between the 2015-2016 and 2020-2021 academic years there was an increase in the proportion of trained teachers from 57.08 % to 60.08%.

In 2020- 2021, of the overall four hundred and eighty (480) trained teachers, three hundred and forty-six (346) or 72.08% 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 ninety-six (96) pupils who exited prematurely as opposed to 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 2020-2021 stood at two hundred and fifteen (215) students, eighty-nine (89) males and one hundred and twenty-six (126) females.
The Georgetown Technical Institute enrolled thirty-five (35) males and twenty-five (25) females, Kingstown Technical Institute eighteen (18) males and twenty- one (21) females, Campden Park twenty-two (22) males and thirty (30) females, and Barrouallie Technical Institute fourteen (14) males and fifty (50) 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 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 11 – 15 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.

These programmes were put on hold as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, they are currently being revived.

188 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.
The Department has a Facebook and an Instagram page.

These platforms are used to inform the public about the various services and programmes offered by the department as well as to give information on upcoming library activities and events.

Library Management Software The information management system used at the National Public Library, Calliaqua Branch Library, the Georgetown Branch Library and Rose Hall 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.
Introduction of new services/programmes - Audio book service for the print disabled - Access to a number of Ebscohost databases - After School Programme - Online Storytime - Access to eBooks 189 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 Alexandria Library Management Software will be updated.
This update will allow patrons to view the library’s catalogue as well as their library account information online.

The library’s commitment to the development of services and programmes for the blind will continue through the acquisition and provision of material in accessible formats as well through the hosting of computer training sessions.

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.
