Value Range
Data
This indicator can be calculated from two different sources: (i) administrative data from schools and other centres of organized learning or (ii) household survey (eg MICS, DHS, national surveys). The first of these is often limited to formal types of learning and hence may not cover the full range of learning opportunities. It may also double-count children participating in more than one programme in different settings. (The UIS survey currently collects data on both early childhood educational development and pre-primary education by single year of age from 2 years upwards.) The latter may require some adaptation to cover the youngest children and also the full range of learning opportunities. This is expected to take 3-5 years to achieve. Data for the age-group 3 and above is currently available from MICS/DHS for about 60 developing countries.
UNESCO-UIS from administrative sources. UNICEF and others from household surveys. UNESCO-UIS will convene an interagency group of experts to develop common methodologies for, initially, completion and participation indicators derived from household surveys. UNESCOUIS will compile data from household surveys conducted by other organizations
