DIGEST OF EDUCATION STATISTICS – 2018

FOREWORD

This is the thirty fifth issue of a yearly publication of Statistics Mauritius on

education statistics.

This report presents the latest available statistics on pre-primary, primary,

secondary, technical and vocational, tertiary as well as education in specialised

institutions. The data have been compiled on the basis of information collected

through surveys conducted in 2018 among educational institutions, as well as from

the Mauritius Examinations Syndicate and the Tertiary Education Commission.

As in previous issues, statistical data are presented for the Islands of Mauritius and

Rodrigues as well for the Republic of Mauritius.

It is hoped that the statistics published in this report will prove valuable to the

public at large and particularly to education planners and policy makers.

The digest has been prepared with the collaboration of the Ministry of Education

and Human Resources, Tertiary Education and Scientific Research, educational

institutions, and several other organisations. The co-operation and assistance of

all these organisations are gratefully acknowledged.

Definitions of Indicators

(1) Apparent Intake Rate (AIR)

Number of new entrants in Grade 1 in primary schools as a percentage of the population aged 5 years.

(2) Gender Parity Index (GPI)

Ratio of the GER for female to the GER for male. It measures the relative education participation of boys

and girls. A GPI of 1 reflects equal enrolment rate for boys and girls, whereas a GPI greater than 1 shows

disparity in favour of girls.

(3) Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER)

Number of pupils enrolled in a given level of education, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the

population in the relevant age-group:

(4) Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) Enrolment of the official age-group for a given level of education expressed as a percentage of the

corresponding population.

GER and NER are compiled both according to age-groups in the national definition as well age-groups as

per UNESCO definition as follows:

Reference age-group for national definitions (GER & NER)

Reference age-group for UNESCO definitions (GER & NER)

4-5 years for pre-primary 3-4 years for pre-primary

6-11 years for primary 5-10 years for primary

12-19 years for secondary 11-17 years for secondary

20-24 years for tertiary

(5) Pupil/ Teacher Ratio

The average number of pupils per teacher at a given level of education in a given year.

(6) Primary Completion Rate (PCR)

The ratio of the number of students successfully completing the last year of primary school (Grade 6) in a

given year to the total number of children aged 11 years in the population.

(7) Transition Rate (TR)

The proportion of pupils progressing from the primary cycle (i.e Grade 6) to the secondary cycle (Grade 7

and Year I Pre-vocational), expressed as a percentage of the number of pupils enrolled at Grade 6 in primary

school.

(8) Promotion Rate (PR)

The proportion of pupils who successfully completed a grade and proceeded to the next higher grade the

following year, expressed as a percentage.

(9) Repetition Rate (RR)

The proportion of pupils who repeat a grade once or twice.

(10) Dropout Rate (DR)

The proportion of pupils who leave the system without completing a given grade in a given school year. This

rate shows the extent at which pupils abandon schooling. A pupil at a given level of education in a given

year will, in the following year, either get promoted to the next higher grade, or repeat the same grade or

drop out of the school system.

Therefore, Promotion Rate + Repetition Rate + Dropout Rate = 100

information collected through the annual survey conducted in schools in March 2018,

together with data from other sources. A methodology for the Annual Survey in Schools is

found at Annex.

This issue of the Digest of Education Statistics presents region-wise tables by

educational zones only. Tables by district together with the web version of this publication

are available on Statistics Mauritius website at http://statsmauritius.govmu.org

(Table 5.5).

7. Flow Rates (Promotion, Repetition and Drop-Out Rates)

The three flow-rate indicators, promotion, repetition and drop-out rates are the

measures of internal efficiency of an education system. High promotion rates signify

efficiency in the education system.

Tables 6.4 and 6.5 show the efficiency ratios at secondary (general) level in the

Republic of Mauritius for the years 2016 and 2017. Among all grades, the promotion rate in

year 2017 was lowest (45%) for pupils of Grade 11 to Grade 12. This implies that they also

have the highest repetition rate (25%) and drop-out rate (30%).

Annual Survey in Schools - Methodology

Introduction

The Ministry of Education and Human Resources, Tertiary Education and Scientific

Research in collaboration with Statistics Mauritius conducts an Annual Survey in

School in March every year in the Republic of Mauritius.

Objective

The main objective of the census is to collect reliable and updated data on the

functioning of schools, teaching and learning conditions for effective policy and

decision-making in the education sector. The questionnaires have been designed to

collect information at school level on:

available infrastructure and facilities;

enrolment;

examination results;

ICT facilities, and

teaching and non-teaching personnel.

Coverage

The survey covers all public and private pre-primary, primary, secondary and

specialised institutions as well as all public-funded vocational training institutions in

the Republic of Mauritius. They numbered 1,430 in 2018.

Data collection

Data are collected from schools through mail questionnaires and email. For the 2018

round of the census, relevant questionnaires and emails with a covering letter and

instructions were mailed to all Pre-primary and Primary schools and emailed to

Secondary schools during the last week of February 2018. The reference date for the

survey was the first working day of March 2018. The schools had to submit the

completed questionnaires by mail and email within a given deadline.

Response rate

A close monitoring of response from the schools are done by staff of the Statistics

Unit at the Ministry of Education and Human Resources, Tertiary Education and

Scientific Research. Reminders are sent to all schools which do not respond by a

186

given deadline. Those which still do not respond after phone calls and reminders are

visited. In 2018, of the 1,430 schools, returns could not be obtained from 5 schools

only, all of them in the pre-primary sector.

Editing and Coding

The editing and coding exercise are done by a team of Statistical Officers. The

questionnaires and emails are scrutinized to identify missing and inconsistent data.

The data are also checked against previous year's questionnaires. Schools which

report major changes or missing and inconsistent data are contacted by phone and any

necessary corrections made. The questionnaires are then coded for data entry.

Data Processing

The Microsoft Excel (EXCEL), Microsoft Access (ACCESS) and the Census and

Survey Processing System (CSPro) were used for the 2018 Annual Survey in Schools.

Data validation and cleaning were then done by Statistical Officers using the same

softwares. Once all the data files were cleaned, Excel was used for tabulation.
