1 Methods and approaches of collecting education data
United Nations Statistical Institute For Asia and the Pacific Second Group Training Course in Module on Fundamental Official Statistics 13 – 14 February 2007 Chiba, JAPAN UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

2 Methods of data collection
Administrative data collection Regular (School census, reporting) Ad-hoc School inspection Sample surveys Population censuses Research and case studies Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

3 Administrative data collection
Main source of education data Data are collected by both regular and ad-hoc manner Regular School census (can be more than once a year) Other types of reporting (financial, performance data, etc..) Ad-hoc Sometimes depend on the need, data are collected by ad-hoc way (e.g.. Urgent policy intervention) Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

4 Administrative data collection
Many of the indicators (indirect measures of the quality of education) to measure the quality of education can be derived from the data collected by this method. Institutional-based data Some of the quality related indicators which can be produced from the data collected by this methods are: Resource allocation (Pupil-teacher ratio, student-text book ratio, class size) Performance (Repeaters, promotes) Teachers (Quality and experience of teachers) Education finance (Contribution and allocation of education finance) Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

5 Administrative data collection
Issues on accuracy and coverage of the data However, it is an institutionalized mechanism and data are based on actual counts Useful for administrative planning and resource allocation which requires actual data Data can be available in time-series Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

6 School inspection Useful way to assess the quality of education provided at school level However, it requires systematic procedures to transform observations and findings to measurable indicators Not only to develop appropriate checklist, forms, questionnaires, experience and skill of inspectors are important (tools as well as capacity building) This approach is useful to assess the indicators like Governance of school resources Teaching-learning practices Teachers and learners’ characteristics School discipline Environmental and physical school situation which effect the quality of teaching-learning Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

7 Surveys Educational surveys – to gather a set of educational information together with other socio-economic data to answer specific policy questions (Student assessment survey, Literacy assessment survey) Surveys which include an module on education – also collect educational data to support main objective of the survey (Labour force survey, Household expenditure survey) Provide a snapshot of the situation at specific time Could be used to cross-check the data from other data collections (e.g. Administrative data collection) Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

8 Educational Surveys Most popular way of assessing quality of education
Demand-side and performance information There are many large-scale multi-national surveys to assess the learners’ performance PISA, TIMMS, PIRLS, IALS Costly, complicated, required special skills and expertise However, you can get a very rich set of quality of education data at specific time which other ways of data collection can not be provided If properly done, it can provide very reliable and comprehensive information on quality of education especially learning achievement Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

9 Surveys which have an educational module
Main purpose is to collect educational data to support the main survey’s objectives Can provide some kinds of information on quality aspect as well as socio-economic background of learners Useful as supplementary information to analyze the quality of education data Measuring external efficiency Cost-effective to include special module designed to assess the quality of education (module on literacy assessment) Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

10 Household and school censuses
Provide baseline data Main sources of population data Educational related data which are collected in censuses: Literacy Educational attainment Attendance Additional sample survey can be conducted by targeting sub-set of population from the census to have more in-depth information Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

11 Research and case studies
Data are collected in connection with studies of educational problems Availability and coverage of the data would be limited Focus on specific subject area to address specific issues As a supplementary information to understand the specific issues in more in-depth Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

12 Approach to collect the data to compute the indicators
Selection of data sources to produce indicators should be based on Availability Regularity Technical soundness Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS

13 Approach to collect the data to compute the indicators
Steps to collect additional data which are not readily available Select the method(s) of data collecting Administrative channels School monitoring system (school inspection) Adding module to the survey Conducting a survey Research study Mobilize the resources Develop the data collection instrument (questionnaires) Develop the data analysis plan Test the data collection instrument and procedures Implement full scale data collection Initially attached at Paris HQ She used to be a Director General of Statistics Office at UK UNESCO INSTITUTE for STATISTICS
