Basic Education Statistics in the Philippines

DepEd Basic Education Statistics as of September 2013

Definition of Terms

Schools refer to the number of schools according to the level of education it offers. For instance, a school that offers both elementary and secondary levels is counted as one elementary and one secondary school.

Enrolment is the actual count of the total number of pupils/ students who have registered as of August 31 in a given school year. The data of the laboratory schools of SCUs, CHED, and TESDA supervised schools are included.

Teachers refer to the number of teachers holding position titles of Master Teachers I – II and Teachers  I – III. The data are based on the Basic Education Information System School Statistics Module.

Performance Indicators refer to the several key indicators that can be computer and utilized for evaluating the education system’s performance at various levels.

Gross Enrolment Rate refers to the total enrolment in a given level of education as a percentage of the population which according to national regulations should be enrolled at this level, i.e., age 6-11 for elementary and 12-15 for secondary. It is a measure of the “capacity” of a region’s elementary and secondary schools.

Participation Rate or Net Enrolment Rate is the ratio between the enrolment in the school-age range to the total population of that age range.

Cohort Survival Rate is the proportion of enrollees at the beginning grade or year who reach the final grade or year at the end of the required number of years of study.

Completion Rate is the percentage of first-year entrants in a level of education who complete / finish the level in accordance with the required number of years of study.

Dropout Rate or School Leavers Rate is the proportion of pupils/ students who leave school during the year as well as those who complete the grade/year level but fail to enroll in the next grade/year level the following school year to the total number of pupils/ students enrolled during the previous school year.

Transition Rate (from primary level to intermediate level, Grade IV to Grade V; elementary to secondary) is the percentage of pupils who graduate from one level of education and move on to the next higher level.

National Achievement Rate refers to the degree of performance in different subject areas in various levels of education.

Mean Percentage Score (MPS) indicates the ratio between the number of correctly answered items and the total number of test questions or the percentage of correctly answered items in a test.

Teacher-Pupil/Student Ratio is the proportion of the enrolment at a certain level of education in a given school year to the number of authorized nationally paid positions for teachers at the same level in the same school year.

Functionally Literacy Rate is the percentage of the population 10-64 years old who have a higher level of literacy such as those who have a high school diploma template which includes not only reading and writing skills but also numerical skills.
