The importance of timely data • To meet the international demand for data and their respective deadlines • To influence policy changes within the country • Country level statistics may not be shown if deadlines are missed • UIS’ own outputs rely on the availability of reliable timely data • Last but not least, timely data allows for feedback which ensures that the data are of the best possible quality
Key data gaps and issues • Pre-primary education • Enrolment by age/grade • Technical and Vocational education (TVET) • Post-secondary non-tertiary education • Teaching staff disaggregated by ISCED level • Graduates at primary and lower secondary education
Key data gaps and issues • Expenditure allocated by ISCED levels • Expenditure by nature of spending • Total government expenditure from all sectors
Key data gaps and issues • Enrolment by fields of study • Graduates and graduates by fields of study (specially graduates with ISCED 5A first degree) • International / mobile students
