Gender and Education for All THE LEAP TO EQUALITY

Introduction The data on pupils, students, teachers and education expenditure presented in these annex tables are based on survey results reported to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) for the school year 2000/01 up until the end of May 2003. Data received after this date will be used in the next EFA report. This school year includes countries with a calendar school year of 2000, and those with a school year stretching from 2000 into 2001. The statistics refer to all formal schools, including public and private institutions, by levels of education. They are supplemented by demographic and economic statistics collected or produced by other international organizations, including the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Population Division and the World Bank. Most member states report their data to UIS using standard questionnaires issued by the Institute. However, for some countries, education data are collected via surveys carried out under the auspices of the World Education Indicators (WEI) project funded by World Bank, or are provided by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) or Eurostat(for East European countries that are part of the Trakai group). As an aid to the reader, symbols are used in the tables to distinguish countries in these two categories from the other member states: o for OECD countries; w for WEI countries. The indicators on access and participation have been calculated using the population estimates of the United Nations Population Division within the framework of the 2000 revision. The results may differ from those published by individual countries or by other organizations such as OECD or in the framework of projects like WEI, because of the difference between national population estimates and those of the United Nations. Education data reported to UIS for more recent years, including the 2000/01 data, are in conformity with the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) revised in 1997. Note that this is not the case with the 1990/91 data that are in accordance with the previous ISCED (ISCED 1976). Consequently, indicators for 1990/91 and 2000/01 may not be comparable for some countries, as noted in some of the tables. Both actual and estimated data are presented throughout the annex tables. For some countries, 1999/2000 data are given when information for the 2000/01 school year was not available. In that case, a footnote has been inserted and data italicized. Footnotes to the tables, and the glossary that follows the references, provide additional guides to help the reader to interpret the data and information.
