IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATIONAL INDICATORS By Rajvir Dy. Manager (MIS) Dept. of School Education - Punjab

2. Importance of Educational Indicators
Educational indicators are the mirror of educational development in a nation.
These indicators are common worldwide such as, Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), Net Enrolment Ratio (NER), Dropout Rates, Gender Parity Index (GPI), Gender Gap, Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR), Literacy Rate.

3. Parameters @ School Level
Enrollment (No. of Students)
Promotion Rate
Retention Rate
Transition Rate
Dropout Rate
Decline of Enrollment of particular section
Girls Share in enrollment
Performance of Students
Performance of Teachers
Pupil Teacher Ratio
Student Classroom Ratio

4. Parameters @ Block/District
Enrollment (No. of Students)
Promotion Rate
Retention Rate
Transition Rate
Dropout Rate
Decline of Enrollment of particular section
Girls Share in enrollment
Performance of Students
Performance of Teachers
Pupil Teacher Ratio
Student Classroom Ratio
Infrastructure shortfall
Single teacher schools
Schools without subject teachers
GER / NER
New Admissions

5. Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER)
It shows the coverage of population in a particular school going age group.
It shows level wise coverage, we can also measure it in terms of SC, ST and Minorities population.

6. Importance of Education Indicators
Dropout Rate : The lower dropout and higher retention are the good sign for a nation.
Gender Parity Index (GPI) : It shows gaps between boys and girls coverage.

7. Formulas for Calculation of Educational Indicators
 GER of classes IX-X
  Enrolment in classes I-V in a year
= X 100
Population of years in the same year
NER of classes IX-X
Enrolment in classes I-V (6-10 Years) in a year
= X Population of 6-10 years in the same year

8. Gender Parity Index (GPI)
Ratio of the female to male values of a given indicator. A GPI of 1 indicates parity between both sexes.
GPI at Secondary Level
GER of Girls (Primary) in a year =
GER of boys (Primary) in the same year
Gender Gap at Secondary Level
Enroll of boys in classes I-V – Enroll of girls in classes I-V in a year
= X 100
Total Enroll. in classes I-V (Boys + Girls) in the same year

9. Pupil-Teacher Ratio (PTR)
Average number of students per teacher at a specific level of education in a given year.
 PTR
No. of students in classes I-V in a year =
No. of teachers in classes I-V in the same year

10. Student Class room Ratio(SCR)
Average number of students per class at a specific level of education in a given year.
SCR
No. of students in classes I-V in a year =
No. of Class rooms used for classes I-V in the same year

11. Transition rate from class V to VI
Promotion Rate for Class V
Enroll. in Class V – repeaters in class V in current year
= X 100
Enrolment in Class IV in the previous year
Transition rate from class V to VI
Enroll. in class VI – repeaters in class VI in a year
= X 100
Enrolment in class V in the previous year

12. Repetition Rate for Class V
Repeaters in class V in a year
= X100
Enrolment in class V in the previous year

13. Dropout Rate for Secondary
Annual Average Dropout
Dropout Rate for Secondary
= 100 – (Promotion rate + Repetition Rate) 

14. Exercise for Dropout Rate ?
2017 Class 2 : 93 Students
2017 Class -1
2018 Class -2
100 Students
95 Students
80 Students Promoted
10 Students repeated
5 Students newly admitted

15. Answer Promotion Rate : 80.00 Repitition Rate : 10.75 Dropout Rate :
9.25 %
