Review of MDG 2 indicators


In connection with the latest trends they start school at the age of 7 years, to
evaluate the accessibility of education it was decided not to use the net coverage
but gross coverage
Dynamics of gross enrollment indicates a low chance of achieving the goals for
2015.

Review of MDG 2 indicators



Concerning the level of literacy it was decided to keep the target for the literacy level of
the population aged 15-24 years at 99.5%.
2004 - Census data. In the period between the censuses of population, labor force survey
data is used.
In Moldova, the whole population aged 15-24 had at least finished primary education.

Revison of MDG 2 indicators

Changed the age group 3-5 years to 3-6 years, as the latter is in the coverage
of preschool education.

New indicator: Percentage of pupils starting grade, which received preschool
education.

The ultimate goal of preschool education coverage, as in the case of
enrollment and lower secondary education, has been changed to 98%.

Review of MDG2 indicators
Indicator of the total coverage of pre-primary education has reached the
Target of 2010 (representing 77.1%), and net enrollment of children 6-7
years old - almost reached the target of 2010 (93.1%).

In the Republic of Moldova, there are differences in the coverage of
pre-school and primary education in urban and rural areas, while in
the coverage of pre-primary and primary education for boys and
girls differences are insignificant.

MDG 3
Gender inequality in education is not a major problem in Moldova.
Gender parity index is a primary and secondary education 1.0, and in the
tertiary education 1.4.

In all decision-making bodies and political parties, especially in the higher
echelons, women are under-represented, and often work in sectors with lower
wages, so set the following parameters:
The proportion of seats held by women in parliament
The proportion of women employed by economic activity
The average wage of women as a percentage of the average salary of men

Data sources for measuring MDG2

With the development of MDG 2 in 2004, data from the Ministry of
Education was used

Some gaps in the registration data, and the lack of continuity in data by
the Ministry of Education, made ​it difficult to monitor the progress of
MDG 2 and the international comparison of Moldova

After the revision of MDG 2, data from the National Bureau of
Statistics (NBS) were used. The web site has a list of NBS selected
indicators for the MDGs, as well as the availability of data and
metadata to the extent possible it is based on international standards
12
Metadata for MDGs
Metadata was developed in 2010, but only for the indicators which are calculated by the NBS.

Data Sources for measuring MDG2
 Statistical survey of institutions of primary and secondary education in the Republic
of Moldova is based on a statistical report number 1-SHGL "The activities of primary
schools, high schools and colleges"
 Statistical survey of the pre-school education will be based on the statistical report №
85 "Activity permanent preschool institutions"

Survey – a complete

Frequency – annual

Information on schools is at the beginning of the school year (September 20), and in
pre-school education at the end of the calendar year
14
Quality of Data
Data verification:
Phase I - (departments) of Education, Youth and Sports:
The number of children and the number of classes according to the overview of 1
September
Economic departments - the presence of extended-day groups
Phase II - district (departments) statistics:
Number of educational institutions in accordance with the lists obtained from the NBS,
including newly established and those who suspended their activities
The presence of statistical codes
Phase III – logical and arithmetic checks, matching sections, comparison with last year
15
Problems in calculationg the indicators




To calculate enrollment rates using estimated population, due to the lack of
demographic data on the actual population by age. In 2011, data were
obtained on the actual population for the age group 7-15 years, for which the
coverage was calculated. For example, the gross enrollment in general
compulsory education with the estimated population is 90.3%, and using the
actual population 98.7%.
There is not enough clarity in the interpretation of some of the indicators,
which complicates the production of these indicators and international
comparisons. For example, the rate of share of students who were enrolled in
the first grade and graduated from general compulsory education – was not
calculated.
There is no consistency in level indicators, as well as of indicators of change
in the process of reviewing developing reports
Until the indicator is calculated share of dropouts in general compulsory
education
16
Coordination and involvment in monitoring
MDGs

2005 - First national report "Millennium Development Goals in the Republic
of Moldova"

2010 - Second National Report "Millennium Development Goals in the
Republic of Moldova"

In 2011, with the assistance of the UNDP project "Strengthening the
National Statistical System“, started working on assessing the quality of
MDG indicators for the quality of information sources, including for
education indicators of MDG 2
17
Future prospects

Need to calculate the actual population of all age groups to get a real
picture of the scope

In order to measure progress towards universal participation in
compulsory education, it is necessary to calculate the net enrollment
ratio for the age group of 7-15 years. And also, as Moldova did not
reach the international goal of universal primary education, it is useful
to divide this figure by 2 sub-group, 7-10 and 11-15 years.

Introduction to statistical practice of calculating the share of dropouts
and the proportion of pupils starting grade one who reach last grade of
general compulsory education, which is possible with technical
assistance from UNESCO
18
Dissmenation of data on MDG2

Every year the ministry of Economy publishes data in DevInfo:
http://www.devinfo.md/devinfoapp.aspx?cl=IND
19
Dissemnination of data on MDG2
Since 2010, the figures for the which the NBS is responsibility are available on
the site, as well as metadata for each indicator
