PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

ZDS-Division Planning Unit

WHAT IS AN INDICATOR?
A tool used to evaluate the
performance of the education
system;

A tool used to report the status of the

education system to the community,
to the whole country and to the
global community.

INDICATORS
• Early Childhood Development Gross
Enrolment Ratio (ECD-GER)
– 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.
The system generates this indicator only up
to the level of the legislative districts and
above.

 APPARENT INTAKE RATE (AIR)

– 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 date on new entrants by single
years of age. The system generates this
indicator up to the level of the legislative
districts and above.

GROSS ENROLMENT RATIO (GER)

– is used to show the general level of

participation. It is used in placed of 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. The
system generates this indicator up to the
level of legislative districts and above.

official primary school age.

 COHORT SURVIVAL RATE (CSR)

– computes the percentage of a cohort of

pupils/students who are able to reach grade
VI/Year IV. It is used to assess the internal
efficiency and “wastage” in education. This
indicator is vulnerable to migration and
caution should be used in computing at the
school level.

TRANSITION RATE FROM PRIMARY
TO INTERMEDIATE (TRPI)
– assesses the extent by which pupils are
able to move to the next higher level of
education (i.e. primary to intermediate and
elementary to secondary). Care should be
exercised in using this indicator at the level
of the Division, Municipal and Legislative
Districts where migration can increase or
reduce the results of the indicator. It is not
calculated at the school level for this
reason.

 RETENTION RATE (RR)

– determines the degree of pupils/students in

a particular school year who continue to
school in the succeeding year. This
indicator is also vulnerable to migration
and is not advisable to compute at the
school level.

INDICATORS

PROMOTION RATE (PR)

– assesses the extent of pupils/students who are
promoted to the next grade/year level. The grade
VI/year IV promotion rate is the graduation rate for
the elementary/secondary level. The computation
used in the BEIS is slightly different from the
official EFA formula since it utilizes the reported
number of promotees rather than computing for
the promotes using the present enrolment and the
previous school year enrolment.

 DROPOUT RATE (DR)

– 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.

 COMPLETION RATE (CR)
– Measures the percentage of grade/year I
entrants who graduate in elementary/
secondary education. It is available only up
to the division level and above. Data for
grade/year I are based on the predecessor of
BEIS, the Unified Data Gathering System
(UDGS), which did not have any validation
procedures and did not monitor the
completeness of the data submitted.
