Annual Statistical Digest_MoET 0 2013 ANNUAL STATISTICAL DIGEST (ASD) MINISTRY OF EDUCATION & TRAINING Caring for the Quality of learning and teaching of our children in Vanuatu and reducing dropouts in the Secondary education.
Policy and Planning Unit, published date – October 2014 Annual Statistical Digest_MoET 1 Republic of Vanuatu Ministry of Education and Training Annual Statistical Report 2013 Published by the Policy and Planning Unit, MoET © 2013 For statistics on education and Training in Vanuatu contact: Ministry of Education & Training Private Mail Bag 9028 Port Vila, VANUATU Telephone (678) 22309 Facsimile (678) 24569 Email: vemisdatarequest@vanuatu.gov.vu Annual Statistical Digest_MoET 2 Foreword Director General of Education and Training It is an honor to present the 6th edition of the 2013 Annual Statistical Digest (ADS) for the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET).
The statistical annual digest highlights most of the recent statistical data and indicators on the Education sector.

The calculation of most indicators relevant for policy development, planning, monitoring and evaluation can be generated in the Vanuatu Education Management information System (VEMIS).
Most of the indicators and administrative data that are included in the digest could be used as evidence-based information to support our national development strategies and the monitoring and evaluation progresses against the national strategic goals and international commitments such as the Education For All (EFA) and the Millennium Development (MDG) goals by 2015.
While data becomes more and more relevant in all aspects of policy and planning developments in the education sector, the Vanuatu MoET among other countries in the Asia-Pacific region is committed in producing the 2015 EFA review.

The national EFA review aimed to review progress and to identify gaps, problems, issues, policies and strategies for further education reform especially in ensuring that the education in Vanuatu would also reach the unreached groups.
The review report is also using the same statistics data and indicator that is published in this 2013 Annual Statistical Digest.

As the MoET is responsible for its policies and actions, including that of ensuring the attainment of national and international goals, the effort to develop a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework is very critical and essential for the accountability of our government resources.
The M&E development process will require input and outcome indicators as variables to measure progress against our targets and achievements.
In raising the importance over the use of education statistics, it is important to highlight how data becomes very much significant in the planning and implementation process of the ministry’s annual work plans, budget preparations and other specific activities and projects that are funded under the government recurrent budget and Vanuatu Education Support Programme (VESP) funding agreement.
The MoET one of the biggest portfolio in the government sectors is getting the highest portion of the national government budget and receives over 1 billion Vatu in 2013 from our main development partners in Vanuatu which are Australia and New Zealand and from the non-pool-partners.
I congratulate the Policy and Planning Unit for producing this annual statistical digest (ASD) and for the great efforts in undertaking continuous review of the VEMIS system in order to address the data needs that the MoET require in order to assess the impact of access, quality and management in the education sector.
I am pleased to see that there are promising efforts in terms of funding and resources that were set aside to support the review of the Vanuatu Education Management information system, however I strongly encouraged sustainable interactions between the New VEMIS in the MoET and other information systems within the MoET and other line Ministries that keep records of schools and all the other training institutions in the country.
The 6th edition of the Annual Statistical Report is a public document therefore I hope that all readers will make great use of the data and indicators that are published in this report for the continuous benefits of our education development.
Jesse Joe Dick Director General of Education and Training Annual Statistical Digest_MoET 3 Acknowledgement Director of Policy and Planning Unit In support to the forward remarks of the Director General, I would like to acknowledge all the efforts put together in compiling the 6th edition of the 2013 Annual Statistical Digest.

This Annual Statistical Digest would not have been complete without the help and the hard work of the staff and associated institutions of the MoET.
First and for most, I would like to thank all the kindergarten teachers for their time and support in completing and submitting their 2013 VEMIS survey forms.

As the director of Policy and Planning Unit, I acknowledge your efforts and participation in providing your data on time to our six provincial education offices.

Secondly, I would like to thank all the primary school heads who have submitted their 2013 VEMIS survey forms.
Without your interventions, the MoET would not be able to produce this digest.

The MoET highly appreciated your hard work and would like to thank you and all the school managements for the assistance in helping out in this process.

Thirdly, this report covers data on secondary education as well.

Therefore I would like to extend my thank you to all the school principals in the country who took time to complete and submit their 2013 VEMIS survey forms.
All the school data were stored in VEMIS and 85% of the data is published in the 6th edition of the 2013 Annual Statistical Digest of the MoET.
Lastly, I would like to extend my gratitude to all the principals and Directors of the Post-Secondary Institutions in Vanuatu, the Head of USP and AUF in Port Vila, the Director of the Vanuatu Rural Development and Training Centre’s Association (VRDTCA), the Acting Director of TVET sector, the Head of the Scholarship’s unit and the Principal Officer of the National Exam’s unit, the Director of the National Statistics Office in Port Vila and the Director of Finance Unit within the MoET for their input in this annual statistical digest.
May I take this opportunity to congratulate my team within the Policy and Planning Unit especially the VEMIS team for the job well done in compiling the 6th edition of the Annual Statistics Digest (ASD) and a special thank you to the Education Services for the efficient work efforts done by the Provincial Statistics and Distribution Officers who have recorded all the school information in VEMIS on time despite the challenges faced especially with the slow access of internet to the Provinces.
I also would like to acknowledge the participation of all key officials of the MoET, the Education experts, our development partners and all the stakeholders who have proof-read this report.

I take this opportunity to encourage all the users of this digest to consider this report as a source of information to all your reports in the future.

John Niroa Director of Policy and Planning Unit Key results 1.
Increasing Access to education There are policies and programme developed to improve access to education at all levels.

School enrolment represents 28.2 percent out of the estimated total population of Vanuatu in 2013.

There are new aspirations and resource integrations to improve access to education in Vanuatu.

One of the major incentives back in 2010 was the earmark of the primary school grants.
The enrolment change in primary education has shown a large increase in primary school enrolment from 38,762 in 2009 to 41,783 in 2010.

There was an increase of more than 1 percent a year on primary school enrolment between 2010 and 2013.

This increase also showed that there is no gender inequality in terms of access to education which is in line with the Universal Primary Education (UPE) policy objectives for gender equality, seeing that the gender parity is well represented in primary education.

The gross enrolment rate is an indicator to monitor progress against smaller children’s participation in the kindergarten schools; however the GER in ECCE was 66.1% in 2012 and decreased by 3% in 2013.

The gross enrolment rate (GER) in primary education 1 to 6 has fluctuated over time since 2009; the GER was 119.4% in 2013 as compared to 110.9% in 2009.

The Net Enrolment Rate (NER) in primary has increased by 1% between 2009 and 2013; however the average NER was at 86.8% between 2011 and 2013.
121.0% 119.4% 110.8% 116.9% 118.1% 111.7% The average gross enrolment rate in secondary education (Years 7 - 13) is at 42.1% between 2009 and 2013.

On the other hand, the gross enrolment rate (GER) in Secondary education was at 48.1% in 2013 which is way below 100%.

A difference of 51% of students aged 13 to 18 years old are not enrolled in secondary schools or would have enrolled in TVET schools and other non-formal institutions.
87.1% 85.6% 87.7% 87.4% 86.7% 86.3% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 GER NER Primary Education 1 to 6 NER in primary education remains steady at 86.3% as compared to 86.7% in 2012.

Progression to formal tertiary studies is another important field within the education sector which absorbs over 16% of the MoET recurrent budget.

In 2013, there are more than 200 new student awardees of which more than 40% of those awardees are degree program students.
Annual Statistical Digest_MoET 5 Progress from formal education to post-secondary institutions and rural training centers varies according to the contexts and the schooling structure of non-formal tertiary and informal institutions in the country.
VEMIS has recorded over 3,000 students who enrolled in the existing post-secondary schools in the country namely the Vanuatu Maritime College, VITE, VIT, Vanuatu Agriculture College and Vanuatu Nursing College and the Australian Pacific Training College (APTC) in Vanuatu.

The actual VEMIS system does store data on formal and non-formal tertiary education.

Improve Quality of Education Goal one for the Education For All (EFA) is looking at “expanding and improving comprehensive Early Childhood Care and Education”, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

The Vanuatu Government 2020 vision also looks at improving the quality of the Early Childhood in terms of introducing and providing standard professional practices for the service providers.
Moreover, in providing for universal Early Childhood Care and Education, many disparities of opportunity and attainment at the primary and later levels might thereby be eliminated.

Student: Classroom ratio - Primary Education - 2013 Govt & Govt Assisted Schools 45.6 17.3 54.9 23.3 24.1 18.8 19.2 19.8 Sanma Tafea Shefa Penama Malampa Torba Between 2013 and 2014, the MoET has set up some policy priorities to improve the quality of teaching and learning in schools.
The student-classroom ratio is also used as an indicator of quality and is showing a big gap in urban and rural schools.

In average, the student- classroom ratio (SCR) is at 52.1 in urban schools and 20.6 in rural schools.

By focusing on primary schools only, the gap on the SCR between the government and government assisted urban and rural schools is an important area to closely monitor.
Rural Urban Another important indicator which is relevant to measure progress against the quality of learning and teaching in our schools is the percentage of trained teachers.

VEMIS shows that there are 3,738 teachers in the existing kindergarten, primary and secondary schools in the country.

However, 57.6% of these teachers are certified to teach.
There are 2,404 qualified teachers in Vanuatu in 2013, however the term “qualified” is defined as teachers that are not trained at VITE but has some other academic qualifications.

Certified teachers are those with either an academic qualification and have been trained at VITE.

The 2013 VEMIS data showed that there are 1,334unqualified teachers that are currently teaching on temporary and contract basis.

The development of the new curriculum is another milestone in the MoET.
Lots of efforts were set aside to improve the learning outcomes at the school level.

There was a major distribution of textbooks in 2011 and resulting with the student-textbook ratio is of 3.1 in primary and 3.3 at secondary education.

Source: VANSTA report 2009 Annual Statistical Digest_MoET 6 However, some textbooks need to be replaced as they are currently old and in poor condition.
VEMIS recorded a total of 2,742 textbooks that required immediate reprinting of which a total 2,421 textbooks in primary schools and 321 in secondary schools.

Another important area that needs to be considered is providing proper equipment and resources for our school libraries.

Moreover, 399 primary schools have library resources as well as in 83 secondary schools.

Improving literacy and numeracy is one of the Vanuatu MoET priority outcomes.
There are researches and studies that confirmed that the level of literacy and Numeracy at the early grades of primary remain low.

However two VANSTA reports have been released in 2007 and 2009.

Year 8 Exam result - Total average Mean Since 2007, the Vanuatu MoET has administered the Vanuatu Standardized Test of Achievement (VANSTA), a national assessment to monitor literacy and numeracy skills of students in grade 4 and 6 of primary education.
VANSTA’s 2007 and 2009 have revealed that a large percentage of students are failing to achieve the standard reading comprehension and writing outcomes expected at the regional level (SPBEA 2009).

While VANSTA provides an indication that many students are not reading at levels thought to be appropriate for grade 4 and 6, it does not provide detailed findings around the issues and problems in primary schools that could lead to poor reading performance in grades 1 to 3.
These levels of achievements are derived from the curriculum outcomes at Year 4 in English and Math subjects.

Six levels are used to describe the learning outcomes in primary, ranging from L5, the highest through L4, L3, L2, L1, to L0, the lowest.

Applied Science/Science Application • English 40.1% • French 38.8% • English 38.7% • French 38.1% • English 46% • French 42.6% Science/Science Maths The assessment results of the year 8 examination are based on the standard means and scores as set by the MoET.
The actual means by subject are categorized out of the average score range (31-69).

The highest mean out of 100 was 48.8 in the English subject for the year 8 English speaking schools and 48.7 in the French subject for the French speaking schools.

French/Français • English 41.7% • French 48.7% English/Français • English 48.8% • French 38.9% Between 2009 and 2013, the transition rate to year 9 in average was 83.9%, where VEMIS recorded a gradual increase at 79.1% in 2009 to 89.2% in 2013.
Out of the 100% of students who sat the national year 8 examinations, less than 100% were selected to year 9; it is likely that the difference of 89.2% out of 100% transition rate to year 9 could repeat year 8 in 2014.

However there is a need for a more in-depth analysis to actually track where these students are.

Since 2009, the transition rate to year 11 and to year 12 has fluctuated; there is a decrease of 4% difference in 2013 from 85.9% in 2012 to 81.6% in 2013.
However the transition rate to year 13 showed a big decrease over years from 28.8% in 2009 to 11.6% in 2013.

The big gap in the transition rate between the years 11 and 13 is significant; it could be defined by the high drop out after the year 10 and year 12 exams or a high percentage of students who carry on at VIT or into any formal and non-formal tertiary institutions in Vanuatu.

Improve planning, fiscal and financial management The Vanuatu Education Sector Strategy (VESS) 2007-2016 focuses on better educational outcomes through long-term strategies and the implementation of annual initiatives to achieve the short-term results.

The Vanuatu Education Sector Plan (VESP) jointly funded by Australia and New-Zealand government outlined the agenda for the development of education sector over the medium term.
It is based on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), basically on the second MDG to achieve the universal primary education.

It does incorporate the strategic vision outlined in VESS, which sets the framework.

90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 15 Govt.other ministries 73.8% 26.2% MoE Gov't 2013 Budget Expenditure as share % of the total Gov't expenditure The Government of Vanuatu is considering the Education sector as the priority area for development in its budget distribution in 2013.
The share of the education budget that has been allocated was 26.2 % of which 71.9% was spent on the teacher’s salaries.

MoET Operational budget, 2013 Salaries, wages, Allowances 72.2% In 2013 the sharing of the 28.1% the MoET operational budget is defined as the actual expenditure to each subsector priority activities set aside in the 2013 annual work plan.
The biggest share to MoET budget is 72.2%, allocated to the MOE staff and teachers’ salaries, allowances and VNPF contributions, 11.4% of that budget allocated to the government scholarships followed by 8.2% was allocated for the school grants.

The MoET, has received in 2013 further VT 470,192,769 from the development partners that includes AUSAID and NZAid and other development partners such as French government, Japanese government, UNICEF and the United nation contributions.
Government Scholarship 11.4% Grants 8.2% MoET ‘Administrative “Costs 5.5% Termination and death 2.2% In 2012 the combined Government grants for the education was about 6.6% of the value of all goods and services produced in Vanuatu as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The MoET is currently strengthening the Monitoring and Evaluation Unit to better monitor the use of funding and resources against the 2013 Ministry’s annual work plan and the VESP strategy outputs.
The disbursement of the budget initiatives in 2013 has gradually given more focus on the quality of Education and therefore 60% of the MoET budget is oriented towards a more proactive attempt in terms of a realistic and coherent implementation of the actual plans and policies of the MoET.

The low literacy and numeracy remains a challenge in the education system therefore the MoET are focusing all its resources to strengthen and improve the quality of education in Vanuatu.

This report covers a large number of statistics of education in ECCE and Education as well as primary, secondary and tertiary education.

It is always important to keep remind ourselves of the Vanuatu’s vision which is to provide a “healthy and wealthy education for all Ni-Vanuatu citizens”.
The primary objective of the MOET is to improve the level of literacy and numeracy across all schools and institutions in Vanuatu.

Important resources were made available to the MoET to support the implementation of the of the key priority strategies set under VERM and the Vanuatu government recurrent budget in 2013.
This statistical annual report includes key performance indicators relevant to measure and monitor progress against the major development framework of the MoET and Training as well as progress against the Millennium Development (MD) and Education For All (EFA) goals by 2015.
MoET – Vanuatu Education Sector Plan (VESP) Priorities Strategy 1 Train and support teachers to implement the new curriculum Strategy 2 Strengthen Early Childhood Care Education delivery Strategy 3 Engage the community to school base management Strategy 4 Provide locally relevant and efficient delivery of facilities and equipment Strategy 5 deliver effiectif well managed and deconcentrated education system in Vanuatu This report provides some facts and figures on Vocational and Technical institutions in the country.
MoET is also concern about the high dropout rate in secondary schools; therefore it decided to sustain its working relationship with all the stakeholders and other government line ministries to create pathways in order to accommodate the dropouts from the formal education stream into the non-formal education.

The MoET has decided at the end of 2013 to include training in its new organizational structure.

The MoET has a second major concern in regards to the poor examination results in Vanuatu.
This report publishes for the first time the exam’s results using tables and graphs.

It is obvious that the proportion of push outs after the year 10, 12 and 13 exams is very high.

Most of the data and indicators were disaggregated by province, gender and by subjects of study; they could be used as evidence based information to everyone including the education planners and practical information for all level of studies and researches.
Another important section in this report brings in the actual expenditures of the MOET recurrent budget and the development support budget from the development partners which is approximately around six (6) billion Vatu.

This section shows basically the share of expenditure as the percentage of the overall government budget and as the percentage of the gross domestic product in 2013.
Finally, the previous VEMIS surveys and data are currently used as evidence source of information in supporting the implementation progress of the emerging plans and the policy priorities of the MoET.

This report is only digesting all valuable facts and figures which are relevant to better plan and manages the education system in Vanuatu.

The number of children in the Kindergarten has increased from 11,272 in 2010 to 13,388 in 2013.
Lots of efforts and resources in terms of ECCE teacher training on the new curriculum, researches or studies on identifying issues of poor education on 0- 5 years of children’s learning, improving literacy and numeracy at early years of education have been concentrated on ECCE activities in order to support access of small children’s’ participation in the kindergarten schools and to address the level of quality teaching and learning.

The actual enrolment figure is decreasing gradually in each year level; where seeing more than 9,000 students were enrolled in year 1 and approximately 4,000 students enrolled in year 6 in the academic school year.

Therefore it is very important to take note of the enrolment difference between these two year levels.

The data around school leavers, dropout, and absentees referred to the previous year’s data.

It enables the MoET to obtain from all schools more reliable and solid information on students who left school for unknown reasons and who were not able to complete their schooling in 2012.

On the other hand, the number of students who transferred in or out in 2012 represents 10% of the total enrolment in 2013.
1.7 Information about School Most schools that are recorded in the VEMIS are registered in the 2012 school registry.

The process of registering a new school in VEMIS is done in consultation with the provincial education officers and the Education Services in the MoET.

The award processes for the Vanuatu Government scholarships were highly coordinated by the Training and Scholarship Coordination Unit.

The scholarship awards by province is not gender balance except in Sanma and Torba province where there is equitable share of scholarship awards; otherwise more male students were awarded scholarship through the Vanuatu Government scholarship in 2013, seeing female to male ratio is at 0.58 in favor of boys.
The scholarship applicant’s selection process was done by the two technical committees before it gets to the National Education Commission (NEC) for final selection and approval.

NEC is a statutory body which is mandated to oversee and coordinate the well management of the scholarship Unit.

In 2013, the scholarship awardees were sent to more than 25 different Universities and Institutions in the Pacific Region and few students were sent to the Philippines Institutions for further studies.

The Program encourages a more responsive and better quality training system that is able to meet the skill demands of the productive sectors within our provincial communities.

The Program operates within existing structures and works with local training providers to deliver focused courses on employment and income-generation outcomes within a nationally recognized framework.
TVET Centres have been established in Sanma, Malampa and Torba provinces which coordinate a range of integrated training and business development support services.

Through a tracer study in 2012 up to 90% of sampled self-employed trainees report increases in profit attributable to skills acquired, 82% reported ‘some’ or ‘large’ business improvements, and 50% have employed more staff.
Over 50% of the trainees have gained improved employment since TVET trainings were initiated and 70% of all sampled trainees reported increased income level attributable to trainings.

2.2 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+.

Over the coming years the PRQS is expected to play an important role in the quality assurance of both national and regional qualifications, professional standards, and indigenous skills.

This quality assurance will open up the opportunities for labour mobility, and provide a link between regional and international qualifications.
SPBEA has been providing technical assistance through Assessment and Examinations Unit; it has also facilitated the capacity building and upgrading of skills within the Examination and Assessment Unit and directly with classroom teachers on the assessment through teaching and impacts on the students’ learning.

The Pacific Senior Secondary Certificate (PSSC) in short, is an examination that used to be awarded by the Secretariat of the Pacific Board for Educational Assessment to the students in the pacific.
As of 2013, PSSC examination has been nationalized and it is now called VSSC for Vanuatu.
As a way forward to improve the VSSC examination in Vanuatu, New Zealand High Commission in Vanuatu is providing support in terms of technical assistance where an expert from the New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA) has been appointed to work with the National Examination Unit on the training aspect of the Examinations and Assessment including training of chief examiners and moderators of the national examinations.
A regional form seven qualification (SPFSC) is administered by SPBEA and was introduced in Vanuatu since 2004.

The main objective of the SPFSC is for the region is to have a qualification that is recognized and have acceptable standard both regionally and internationally.
Annual Statistical Digest_MoET 47 2.1.4 School Life expectancy Table 2-4: School life expectancy in the Education System, 2013 Age specific 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.

Management and Planning Relevant Indicators for MoET Monitoring and Evaluation Indicator % education expenditure from Government recurrent budget Government Costs per level of Education (Vt. per year) ECE Primary Secondary Post-Secondary (VIT, VITE) Scholarships Source: Smart stream, Vanuatu FMIS, Annual Statistical Digest_MoET 59 3.1 Source of Funding for Ministry of Education and Training In 2013 the MoET received over one quarter or 26.2% of the government recurrent budget and received additional 634.5 million Vatu through bilateral funding agreements with Australia, New Zealand, Japan, UNICEF and the United Nations.
The combined government and donor budget allocated to MoET represented 6.4% of the projected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2013.

The remaining resources under the development funds in 2012 was rolled out to 2013 for Vanuatu education Road Map to ensure quality service and resources is well embedded in the use of the learning resources and ensure that effective outcomes around literacy and numeracy is prevailed.
In 2013 the largest VERM expenditure was for the school grants paid to the primary schools to replace parental contributions – This represented 41% of VERM expenditure.

About (16.1%) of VERM expenditure was for building repair and maintenance work.

Three years in a row, Vanuatu has seen its scholarship spending more than triple without any explicit change in policy.
The rapid increase on scholarships intake for bachelor degree studies must somehow set some meanings on how the MoET is going to transfer it into a more proactive human resource development (HRD) plan for the government as a whole.

The available data on scholarships and the huge increase on tertiary studies should be considered as baseline to the HRD forecast plan and the availability of jobs in Vanuatu.
In 2013, Vanuatu government has increased its budget towards scholarships from Vt 479.2 million in 2012 to Vt 634.5 million in 2013.

The increase on scholarships in 2013 has unintentionally transformed the face of the government budget, creating a rapidly increasing area of overspend that Treasury officials struggle to contain.

VERM activities are funded by Government and donor partners.

The disbursement of school grants is strength in the virtuous improvement of VEMIS data collection since 2010.

Each year, a detail plan and budget for the VEMIS survey is prepared and submitted by the VEMIS team.

The review and update of the VEMIS survey is done by the VEMIS team and printed in Vila.

All the forms are then air freighted to the six provincial offices in December each year.

The statistics officers in the provinces are then responsible to enclose all the VEMIS forms in the school envelop.
The process to school distribute envelops to each school varies from a province to another.

Most of the time, all the VEMIS forms are safely put in the school lockers in the provincial education offices and ready to be collected by the school principals and the head of the primary schools in the first week of February.
the VEMIS CENSUS DATE 21ST March Despite of the geographical locations of the schools in Vanuatu, most head of schools are now aware of the VEMIS survey process and the timeline set for data collection.

Most of the VEMIS survey forms are collected or send to the respective schools in February each year but it happens that less than five schools will not receive their VEMIS survey forms for unknown reasons.
Under these conditions, the statistics officers in the provinces will immediately assist these schools and provide them with a new copy of the VEMIS survey form.

Annual Statistical Digest_MoET 64 1.2 Data Quality Measures and Data Entry Data integrity is the most important aspect of analysis around statistics management.
In addition to the setting up of the existing Vanuatu Education Management Information System (VEMIS), relevant resources were made available to support the process of verification and validation of VEMIS data.

There are different stages of verification points; first of all, the VEMIS survey is checked by another member of the school management beside of the school head or principal who completed the VEMIS form.
The questionnaire is then submitted to the provincial education office and checked for the second time by the respective ZCA before it reaches the statistics officer.

The statistics officer will check the survey form for the last time before the PEO sign it.

The X-Y Chart analysis is a system process to control the impact of changes overtime.
It basically detect if there is a major change on the school enrolment, teacher data or on other indicators such as the pupil: classroom ratio, pupil: teacher ratio or student: textbook ratio and so on.

A list of schools is identified after this analysis and enabled the provincial education officers to visit some schools to validate the data.

1.3 Data Entry The six statistics and distribution officers are now located in the five provincial education offices since 2012.
Their main responsibility is to record schools data into the Vanuatu Education Management System (VEMIS).

Access to internet has recently improved in 2014; however our VEMIS team in the provinces did faced some difficulties in 2013 to record the schools data in time due to slow internet access.
The 2013 school surveys with successful data collections, by providing a wide range of essential data that will be used as a factual base for the planning, decision making and financial estimates within the MoET and for stakeholders.

VEMIS can be used to facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of VERM activities and progress towards VESS and the Government Priority Action Agenda (PAA) targets.
The annual school survey timeline starts in November of the previous year and finishes in March of the current year.

The sound knowledge around the importance of data and how statistics become essential for all the aspects of planning and decision- making has drastically contributed too to improve the VEMIS survey returns rate.

The analysis of the survey response rate is routinely generated in VEMIS; it is a tracking system that allows you to monitor progress against the recording of VEMIS data and at the same time the percentage of the VEMIS questionnaires that have been received and entered on time.
