The statistics presented were validated and extracted from the Open VEMIS.

Open VEMIS is the main database for MoET to collect, store and report data on education system.

Data in Open VEMIS are updated on annual basis by the responsible data owners, based on the annual school census process and timeframes.

The reports also capture data from non- government training institution that contributed to providing education in Vanuatu.
The purpose of this report is to publish data captured in Open VEMIS that can be used to measure the effectiveness of the policy objectives that addresses the three main goals of the Ministry, which are Access, Quality and Management.

The information published provides evidence to inform policy and decision makers as well as measure the effectiveness of the policies that aims to address the MoET’s goals.
Most importantly, the utilization of data will help to measure and monitor the progress of indicators outlined in the Vanuatu Education and Training Sector Strategy (VETSS) 2020 – 2030 and along with the Society pillar 2 of the Peoples Plan 2016 – 2030 that focuses on Quality Education.

The data will also aim at measuring the indicators for SDG4 and other regional indicators calculated to measure the effectiveness of Vanuatu’s education system for comparison at the regional and international levels.
It is important for every data user to make effective use of the information in all planning or decision- making processes to ensure available resources are used effectively and efficiently.

The formulation of new policies should be guide by data for its effectiveness and proper coordination of resources towards development.
On this note, I take this opportunity to encourage every directorate to consider the importance of data and make effective use of it for better planning towards improving of our education system.

Finally, I am pleased to introduce the MoET Annual Statistical Report for 2021 that outlines a holistic range of education statistics, from Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) to Post School Education and Training (PSET) or Tertiary Education.
Yours sincerely, Bergmans Iati Director General, Ministry of Education and Training 5 | P a g e Education Statistics of 2021 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I have the honour as Director responsible to acknowledge the outstanding work by MoET officers who contributed in one way or another towards the publication of the 2021 statistical report published by the Ministry of Education and Training.

Yours sincerely, Serge Lewawa Director, Policy and Planning Division 6 | P a g e Education Statistics of 2021 INTRODUCTION The development and use of Open VEMIS has been instrumental in strengthening the collection and reporting of all MoET’s data, ensuring that information is centralised and accessible for all users.
All data available in the system are managed by responsible units owning the ministry’s data from central office down to school level.

The data captured includes enrolment, teachers, facility, school registry and mapping, school finance and are accessible at all levels within the education structure.
The development of Open VEMIS aiming to strengthen its three main objectives towards producing quality data which are Completeness, Accuracy and Reliability of all education managed in the database and making sure data managers are trained to ensure quality of data are addressed.

The system itself facilitates the validation and quality control of the data stored in Open VEMIS that allows VEMIS officers and data managers to conduct data quality checks based on the reports generated by the system.
Therefore, data published have been validated and audited based on the Open VEMIS data quality procedures normally conducted by respective data managers within each unit before the data are confirmed for its official use.

The purpose of producing this statistical report separately from digest report is to ensure data are easily available in a timely manner given the validity of the data to inform planning and decision- making within the education sector.
The data published will later be serve as the basis for compiling the Annual Digest reports, which will provide more detail analysis on education indicators.
Significantly, the information published measures the effectiveness and the progress of Education policies that addresses the main goals of the MoET, namely Access, Quality and Management highlighted in the Vanuatu Education and training Sector Strategy (VETSS) 2021 - 2030, that links to the society 2 pillar of “The People’s Plan 2016 – 2030” which focuses on quality education.

Thus, the content of this report captures information for each school type; ECCE, Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary institutions.
It also contains information for Ni-Vanuatu students who have awarded a scholarship by agencies, studying in various universities throughout the region and in some universities outside the region.
