ANNEX II

Data quality requirements and quality reporting framework


Data quality requirements

The data quality requirements for data on education and training systems refer to the quality reporting dimensions (or quality reporting criteria) of relevance, accuracy, timeliness and punctuality, accessibility and clarity, comparability, and coherence.
In particular, the data shall comply with the definitions and concepts as stated in the detailed guidelines for the UNESCO/OECD/Eurostat data collection on education systems.

Data quality report

Every year, the Commission (Eurostat) shall supply Member States 3 months in advance of the transmission deadline referred to in Article 4(2) with draft documents for the annual quality report, partially pre-filled with already available quantative indicators and other information available to the Commission (Eurostat). Member States shall supply the Commission (Eurostat) with the completed quality report referred to in Article 4(2).
The quality report shall be divided into the following 7 chapters: enrolments, entrants, personnel, graduates/graduations, finance, foreign languages learnt and regional enrolment data.
The data quality report shall document the compliance with the dimensions of relevance, accuracy, timeliness and punctuality, accessibility and clarity, comparability, and coherence.
In particular, the data quality report shall document the compliance with the definitions and concepts as stated in the detailed guidelines for the UNESCO/OECD/Eurostat data collection on education systems.
Deviations from the definitions and concepts as stated in the detailed guidelines for the UNESCO/OECD/Eurostat data collection on education systems shall be documented and explained and if possible quantified.
In particular, Member States shall provide a description of sources used at the level of tables as described in Annex I and the use of estimates and revisions shall be clearly identified at the level of tables and breakdowns.
