| Topic: | Education: Efficiency | ||||||||
| Short Definition: | 0 | ||||||||
| Long Definition: | Persistence to grade 5 (percentage of cohort reaching grade 5) is the share of children enrolled in the first grade of primary school who eventually reach grade 5. The estimate is based on the reconstructed cohort method. | ||||||||
| Unit of Measurement: | 0 | ||||||||
| Periodicity: | Annual | ||||||||
| Base Period: | 0 | ||||||||
| Reference Period: | 0 | ||||||||
| Aggregation method: | Weighted average | ||||||||
| Limitations and exceptions: | The estimates have limitations in capturing real trend in that an observed rate will be applied to the underlying indicators such as repetition rate and promotion rate throughout the cohort life, and re-entrants, grade skipping, migration or transfers during a school year are not adequately captured. | ||||||||
| Notes from original source: | 0 | ||||||||
| General Comments: | Relevance to gender indicator: this indicator measures gender disparity in the retention rate until grade 5 which can be used to postulate the reasons why some girls drop out of schools. Aggregate data are based on World Bank estimates. | ||||||||

| Statistical concept and methodology: | The cohort
survival rate to grade 5 of primary education shows the percentage of
students entering primary school who are expected to reach the specified
grade. It measures an education system's holding power and internal
efficiency. Rates approaching 100 percent indicate high retention and low
dropout levels. It is calculated by dividing the total number of children belonging to a cohort who reached each successive grade of the specified level of education by the number of children in the same cohort; those originally enrolled in the first grade of primary education, and multiplying the result by 100. To reflect current patterns of grade transition, it is calculated based on the reconstructed cohort method, which uses data on enrollment by grade for the two most recent years and data on repeaters by grade for the most recent of those two years. Aggregate data are World Bank estimates. Data on education are collected by the UIS from official responses to its annual education survey. All the data published by the UIS are mapped to the International Standard Classification of Education 1997 (ISCED97). This classification system ensures the comparability of education programs at the international level. UNESCO developed the ISCED to facilitate comparisons of education statistics and indicators of different countries on the basis of uniform and internationally agreed definitions. First developed in the 1970s, the current version was formally adopted in November 1997. The reference years reflect the school year for which the data are presented. In some countries the school year spans two calendar years (for example, from September 2010 to June 2011); in these cases the reference year refers to the year in which the school year ended (2011 in the example). |

| Development relevance: | Cohort survival rate is a key measure to monitor whether a country is on track to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education by 2015, and whether an education system has the capacity to meet the needs of universal primary education. | ||||||||
