PSET Statistical Bulletin - 2010 Page i

PREFACE

The purpose of the Post School Education and Training (PSET) Statistical Bulletin is to provide

basic statistical information on PSET in Samoa. This is the first statistical Bulletin produced for

PSET in Samoa.

The information included in this bulletin is the latest information available to SQA as of November

2010 on PSET Formal Providers. Historical data has also been included to reflect changes over

time.

The main sources of the data contained herein are the Annual PSET Data Collection Survey

conducted during April – July 2010 to gather PSET Performance Data for the Years 2007 – 2009,

as well as a study conducted by SQA to collect baseline data on PSET Providers in 2007.

It is anticipated that data from SQA’s Information System – EduNet which is still being developed,

as well as information on Non-Formal Providers will be included in future statistical bulletins.
