In 2012 considerable progress was made to implement the agreed activities from the programs under the Vanuatu Education Road Map (VERM) in close consultation with funding partners from AusAID, NZAID and UNICEF.
The Government of Vanuatu’s commitment to meeting the goals in the Vanuatu Education Sector Strategy 2007-2016 (VESS), Education for All (EFA) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s) can be seen in the policies and strategies the Government has initiated combined with the political will and the financial support provided to the education sector and to human capital development as a whole.
The Ministry of Education has taken the necessary measures to ensure that all education development plans are practical, realistic and action-oriented, besides being responsive to the needs of the nation.
The VESS continues to concentrate on matters pertaining to educational access and quality while ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of the education system in developing human capital of the country through VERM (2010-2012) and will continue through its new Vanuatu Education Sector Program (VESP 2013-2017).
As a means of monitoring the progress and outcomes of the education system against national, regional and international benchmarks, the Ministry of Education in Vanuatu has its own Monitoring and Evaluation tool called Vanuatu Education Management Information System (VEMIS).

A survey is conducted each year by the Ministry to collect data from all ECE, primary and secondary schools.
All the data and performance indicators as generated in VEMIS provide the evidence-based information to monitor progress and achievements against the benchmarks.

This Annual Statistical Digest only uses quantitative statistical data as the evidence base for policy monitoring and evaluation.

The analysis of this report will help our planners and policy makers to make informed decisions to efficiently plan and implement our policies.
The Ministry of Education is committed to meeting its obligations under the VESS, EFA and MDG’s to improve the access to education, its quality and the management of the Ministry and the challenge is to intensify and scale up activities to achieve our national and international commitments.

Hon.

Bob LOUGHMAN Minister of Education 2 Government of Vanuatu Preface Director General of Education The Ministry of Education (MoE) continues with the implementation of developed policies to meet the goals in the Vanuatu Education Sector Strategy (VESS) 2007 – 2016 while developing the monitoring and evaluation frameworks and reporting processes across the departments in the Ministry.

All of these rely on timely and accurate statistical indicators.
In 2007 the MoE launched the Vanuatu Education Information System (VEMIS).

VEMIS contains information from the Annual School Census that covers every Early Childhood Education centre, primary and secondary schools in Vanuatu.

In addition to the school enrolment and teachers, VEMIS also contains school financial records and provide a more comprehensive and detailed analysis of school incomes basically from the school grants, and expenditures.
This is not an easy task and work is in progress to improve the quality and coverage of the financial records.

This Annual Statistical Report is an essential tool to assess the progress towards achieving the milestones in VESS as well as providing official national statistics on the education sector in Vanuatu.
We at the Ministry of Education (MoE) strongly believes that the facts and figures that are available in this report could be used as source evidence data to support all levels of analysis and to measure policy outcomes and outputs which is needed to monitor the progress of the Vanuatu Education Road Map (VERM) and it is used along with detailed financial analysis, management and administrative reports and other specific studies.
This report presents essential findings from all ECE, primary and Secondary schools as well as other source information as provided by existing post secondary institutions, scholarships office and rural training centres in Vanuatu.

This annual statistical report is aligning to the three goals in VESS for decision makers and numerous statistical tables for government policy analysts and planners.
The Ministry of Education would like to thank all the schools throughout Vanuatu which continue to support the Policy and Planning Unit in completing the annual school survey forms each year.

The data provided in this report is important for the further growth and development of the education system.
Among the many contributors to this report to whom I am thankful I would like to make special mention of the work made by the VEMIS data entry operators and their attention to detail and ongoing efforts to improve the quality of VEMIS statistics.

Increase access to education Progress is being made to increase access to schooling; this is seen in the increasing number of students enrolled at all levels of schooling in Vanuatu.
Challenges remain at the start of the education cycle and in the senior years.

In 2012 there was a significant in children enrolled at Early increase Childhood the proportion of children who were enrolled remains low at 44% meaning that some 6,000 children aged 3 – 5 years were not enrolled at ECE.

Results of efforts to increase access to ECE education are beginning to show, and these policies must be sustained and activities scaled up in strategic areas.
Knowledge about the importance of ECE as the first step in a child’s education must continue to be translated into increased ECE enrollment.

The impact of the over-age children coming through the primary cycle should show an affect in the GER within the next two years which should increase if the number of places in secondary schools continues to increase.

Year 1 – 13 enrolment and estimated population, 2012 The Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) is the ratio of the number of children enrolled at any age in years 1-6 in primary to the population aged 6-12 years and in 2012 it was 121%.
A ratio of more than 100 indicates a number of under- or over- aged children enrolled, which can make achieving universal primary education a challenge, as it implies that there might not be enough places for the official primary school age- group.

The Gender Parity Index (GPI) for the GER in Primary in 2012 was 0.98.

This indicator shows that there is no gender inequality in access to education and meets the Universal Primary Education (UPE) policy objectives for gender equality.

In 2012 the NER in ECE was 44%, meaning that some 6,000 children aged 3 – 5 years were not enrolled at ECE.
The NER in primary education has stabilized at around 87% showing the impact of fee free education and expansion of school facilities.

However the education system is under pressure from the ECE level where less number of children of the correct age are being enrolled: more and more children are Source: VEMIS 2012, VNSO population data Orange line is estimated population and shading is enrolment Annual Statistical Report 2012 5 being enrolled in ECE but too many of them are older than five years.
This then puts pressure on primary school enrolments of official age which right from Year 1 are out of alignment – this affects the so called ‘eligible cohort’ for primary school.

GIR and NIR for Year 1, 2008-2012 The official school-entrance age as stated in the Ministry of Education Act 2001 is 6 years old.

Intake rates are used to show the proportion of children entering school of the total population aged 6 years old.
The Gross Intake Rate (GIR) is used for children enrolled in Year 1 regardless of age and was 118% in 2012, showing a high degree of access to primary Year 1.

However, the Net Intake Rate (NIR) remains low at 36% in 2012 and shows that while children do get enrolled at Year 1 a high proportion are older than six years of age.

The Net Intake Rate (NIR) has fluctuated between 36 – 40% since 2008.
The efforts that the Government of Vanuatu has invested in improving access to schooling need to continue and increase to narrow disparities if all children aged 6 years are to have the same opportunities in education in accordance with the UPE Policy.

The comparison between the GER and NER at primary Year 1 – 6 shows that the GER has a trend to increase: more children are being enrolled at primary; while the NER has stayed around 87% which means that a large proportion of these children are over 12 years of age.
More research is required to find the causality and interrelationships for this overage problem which are outnumbering issues which varied from academic reasons and children having to repeat, to social and economic ones where children stay at a school close to their home.

Improve the quality of education A significant proportion of the MoE’s budget (government recurrent and donor funded) goes towards improving the quality of education.
In 2012 there was a 10-fold increase in the distribution of school text books and teacher guides for Primary years 1 – 6 from 6,000 to some 60,000 (62,378).

The cost was significant for the design and layout of the books, printing locally and distribution nationally.

The student: text book ratio for 2012 increased by 13% from 2011 with an estimated 1.4 textbooks per student in 2012.
There were 3,627 teachers in the country from ECE to Secondary level, and about half or 47% of ECE teachers had a teaching certification compared with two thirds or 66% of primary teachers and 53% of secondary school teachers.

The program to increase the skills of the teaching workforce continues, with VITE continuing to expand places in the certification program and strengthening pre- and in-service training.
The MoE and VITE are implementing scaled up in- service training activities with courses now offered throughout Vanuatu which were previously only possible in Port Vila.

For in-service training over the five years 2007 to 2012 there were % of Certified teachers - Government Primary Schools t n e c r e p 60% 58% 56% 54% 52% 50% 48% 46% 51% 59% 59% 59% 56% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 6 Government of Vanuatu 606 ECE teachers trained and 1,420 primary teachers trained.
A key quality measure is whether or not children complete a full course of primary schooling, from Year 1 up to Year 6.

In 2012 the MoE estimated that from 100% of students in Year 1 two-thirds or 83.6% of students survived through year 6 and 16.4% of these students have not reached year 6.

At secondary level, from 100 percent of students who enrolled in year 7, only 11.7% of them have survived up to year 13 and 88.3% students did not complete their formal academic schooling up to year 13 in 2012.
The high number of students who have not succeeded the year 12 examination each year is also one of the main factors that could characterize the low survival rate to year 13.

Other unknown factors could be the causes that would influence the survival rate much lower than that of the primary level.

The proportion of students who have not reached year 13 is 86.3%, it is obvious that the high dropout in secondary will have an impact on the internal efficiency of the education system as a whole.
The information included in this report on examination results is limited to pass rates based on enrolment and the number progressing to the next academic year.

In 2012 in aggregate, 97% of Year 8 students were advanced to Year 9 which represents a progression rate of 100% in French speaking schools and 94% in English speaking schools.

For Year 10 79% of students in French speaking schools went onto Year 11 compared with 87% of Year 10 students in English speaking schools.
In total 64% of students in Year 12 went onto Year 13 in 2013, 56% of students in French speaking schools and 64% of students in English speaking schools.

The number of students able to advance is a factor of the results of internal assessment and examinations as well as allocates space.

The challenges students are facing to complete their education are evident in the transition rates and the repeater rates for different years of schooling.

Improve planning, fiscal and financial management.


The additional resources available to MoE for Vanuatu Education Road Map (VERM) must be managed to ensure the best outcomes for increased access and quality of education.

In 2012 the MoE received almost one quarter or 24% of the government recurrent budget.

In 2012 the MoE received donor partner funding from Australia, New Zealand, and the United Nations to the amount of Vt 712.2 million.

Most of this funding is earmarked for VERM activities.
The government of Japan contributed a further Vt 35.5 million for numerous projects to improve the standard of primary schools and facilities.

The combined government and donor budget of the MoE represented 6.4% of the projected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2012.

In 2012 the largest VERM expenditure was for the school operating grants – the subsidy paid to primary schools to replace income from school fees – which represented 40% of VERM expenditure.

Almost 20% (16%) of VERM expenditure was for building repair and maintenance.

The purpose of this report is to provide official statistics on education in Vanuatu for policy planning, monitoring and evaluation.

The information contained in this report is analysed in other reports by the Ministry.

This report is structured according to the three priority areas for the Ministry of Education as identified in the VESS and with specific strategies and policies in the Vanuatu Education Road Map (VERM): 1.
Increase equitable access to education for all people at all levels of education in Vanuatu.

Universal primary education ECE prior to primary Expand places at secondary and TVET Children with special needs 2.

Improve the quality of education.

Expand and strengthen in-service training Student: teacher ratios and school resources are within regulation limits Improved school facilities Bi-lingual and dual language schools Relevant curriculum 3.
Improve and strengthen the management of the education system in Vanuatu.
Decentralisation of management and administration to provinces Effective monitoring and evaluation through VEMIS Procurement and distribution systems cost efficient Effective auditing of schools This report presents the statistics available in VEMIS of relevance to VERM, VESS and a number of other key policy areas such as the Education For All (EFA) global initiative as well as official statistics required for monitoring progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
Each section of this report presents the statistical information in a summary from the VEMIS baseline year of 2007 where possible; a comparison between different provinces as well as details of the indicator itself.

This report does not contain detailed analysis or explanations of trends as the purpose of this report is only to present the statistical information.

Detailed analysis is available in other reports prepared by the MoE and institutions providing statistics for this report.
Annex 1 of this report contains a summary of the process used to collect the information in the Annual School Census and an assessment of the quality of the information collected in terms of the overall response rates and reliability of statistical information.

Some of the information in VEMIS is not from the school survey, such as the school examination results and financial information.

This data is included in VEMIS to meet the needs for broader planning and policy making, monitoring and evaluation.

School facilities The school Minimum Quality Standard is currently being finalized.
There are 15 Standards altogether and Standard 9 directs that school buildings meet the MoE infrastructure standards, for heads of schools to conduct monthly safety audits of buildings and that a maintenance plan is implemented.

School buildings need to be safe and comfortable to ensure that all children can attend classes and maintain good health.

The Facilities Unit from the MoE is in the process of developing minimum infrastructure standards for classrooms, toilets, water facilities etc.
Once completed, these standards will help school committees to decide how to upgrade and maintain their school infrastructure.

Management and planning Relevant Indicators for MoE monitoring and evaluation: Footenote: No government grant was paid to ECE Education since 2007.There was no specific cost center for ECE in 2007-2011; figures were extracted from the SMART Stream system using LPO detail payments 3.1.
Resources for education The additional resources available to MoE for Vanuatu Education Road Map (VERM) must be managed to ensure the best outcomes for increased access and quality of education.

In 2012 the MoE received just over one quarter or 27% of the government recurrent budget.

In 2012 the MoE received donor partner funding from Australia, New Zealand, and the United Nations to the amount of Vt 712.2 million.

Most of this funding is earmarked for VERM activities.
The government of Japan contributed a further Vt 35.5 million for numerous projects to improve the standard of primary schools and facilities.

The combined government and donor budget of the MoE represented 6.4% of the projected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2012.

VERM activities are funded by Government and donor partners.
In 2012 the largest VERM expenditure was for the school operating grants – the subsidy paid to primary schools to replace income from school fees – which represented 40% of VERM expenditure.

Almost 20% (16%) of VERM expenditure was for building repair and maintenance.

Annual School Survey Response Rates and Data Quality Measures In July 2011, the data entry officers of the Ministry of Education together with some staffs of the Policy and Planning Unit have conducted a week school data validation in 78 primary schools.

The verification process was done based on the 2011 and 2012 VEMIS survey forms been submitted to the Ministry of Education by the school heads and principals.
The data checks were done basically on school enrolment by class, repeater by class and number of additional teachers as stated in the survey forms.

In 2012, 93% of schools in Vanuatu have submitted their VEMIS forms.

In spite of the efforts been put to improve school data collection each year, 12% of ECE schools have not submitted their VEMIS forms due to unknown reasons.

On the other hand, only 1% of primary schools have not returned their VEMIS forms in 2012.
These are 3 private schools in Santo which did not return their VEMIS forms for unknown reasons.

Schools which do not provide the completed survey form to the MoE by 30th March 2012 are considered not to have submitted their forms on time.

Schools which do not provide a completed questionnaire by 30th May 2012 are estimated in VEMIS until the school survey data can be obtained.
