PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

1.1. Gross Enrolment Ratio in Early Childhood Development Programs

This indicator measures the general level of participation of young children in early
childhood development programs. It indicates the capacity of the education system to
prepare young children for elementary education.

Enrolment Pre-sch, SY N
---------------------------- x 100
Population Age 4-5, SY N

Where:
Enrolment Pre-sch, SY N - Total Pre-school Enrolment (Table A – GESP)
Population Age 4-5, SY N - Population from NSO

1.2. Percentage of Grade 1 Pupils with Early Childhood Development Programs

This indicator measures the level of participation of grade 1 pupils in ECD programs.

Enrolment with ECD Gr 1, SY N

--------------------------------------- x 100
Enrolment Gr 1, SY N

Where:
Enrolment with ECD Gr 1, SY N - Total Grade 1 Enrolment with ECD
(Table B - GESP)
Enrolment Gr 1, SY N - Total Grade 1 Enrolment (Table B - GESP)

1.3. Apparent/Gross Intake Rate

The Apparent Intake Rate reflects the general level of access to primary education. It also
indicates the capacity of the education system to provide access to grade 1 for the official
school-entrance age population. It is used as a substitute for Net Intake Rate in the
absence of data on new entrants by single years of age.

Enrolment Gr 1, SY N
--------------------------- x 100
Population Age 6, SY N

Where:
Enrolment Gr 1, SY N - Total Grade 1 Enrolment (Table B – GESP)
Population Age 6, SY N - Population from NSO
1.4. Net Intake Rate
This indicator gives a more precise measurement of access to primary education of the
eligible, primary school-entrance age population than the Apparent Intake Rate.

Enrolment Gr 1, Age 6, SY N
------------------------------- x 100
Population Age 6, SY N

Where:
Enrolment Gr 1, Age 6, SY N - Total Age 6 Grade 1 Enrolment (Table B - GESP)
Population Age 6, SY N - Population from NSO

1.5. Gross Enrolment Ratio

The indicator is used in place of the Net Enrolment Ratio when data on enrolment by
single years of age is not available. It can also be used together with the Net Enrolment
Ratio to measure the extent of over-aged and under-aged enrolment.

Total Enrolment All Ages, SY N

----------------------------------- x 100
Population Age 6-11, SY N

Where:
Total Enrolment All Ages, SY N - Total Enrolment (Table B - GESP)
Population Age 6, SY N - Population from NSO

1.6. Net Enrolment Ratio/Participation Rate

The indicator provides a more precise measurement of the extent of participation in
education of children belonging to the official school age.

Total Enrolment Ages 6-11, SY N

------------------------------------- x 100
Population Age 6-11, SY N

Where:
Total Enrolment Ages 6-11, SY N - Total Enrolment (Table B - GESP)
Population Age 6, SY N - Population from NSO

1.7. Cohort Survival Rate

The Cohort Survival Rate computes the percentage of a cohort of pupils/students who
are able to reach grade VI/Year IV.

1.8. Promotion Rate

The Promotion Rate assesses the extent of pupils/students who are promoted to the next
grade/year level. The grade 6/year 4 promotion rate is the graduation rate for the
elementary/secondary level.

Elementary: Secondary:
Promotees Gr X, SY N Promotees Yr X, SY N

Enrolment Yr X, SY N (Table D - GESP & GSSP)

1.9. Repetition Rate

This is an EFA indicator which determines the magnitude of pupils/students who repeat
a grade/year level.

Elementary: Secondary:
Repeaters Gr X, SY N Repeaters Yr X, SY N
--------------------------- x 100 --------------------------- x 100

1.10. School Leaver Rate
School Leaver Rate is the EFA measure for dropout rate. It covers both pupils/students
who do not finish a particular grade/year level as well as those who finish but fail to
enroll in the next grade/year level the following school year. It is theoretically more
comprehensive than Simple Dropout Rate but becomes unreliable in areas with
substantial migration. Care should be exercised in using this indicator at the level of the
Division, Municipal and Legislative Districts. The system does not allow use of School
Leaver Rate at the school level where it is very likely to result in a misleading measure of
dropout rate.

School Leaver Rate = 1 - Promotion Rate - Repetition Rate

Or

School Leaver Rate = 1 - Promotion Rate - Repetition Rate

1.11. Simple Dropout Rate

The Simple Dropout Rate calculates the percentage of pupils/students who do not finish
a particular grade/year level. It does not capture pupils/students who finish a
grade/year level but do not enroll in the next grade/year level the following school year.
