Educational Indicators and Importance

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 coverage. boys and girls

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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