Abstract
The 2018 Digest highlights data on various constituents and components of the education sector. It reports on student enrolment, dropouts, repeaters and graduates. Data are included on teachers, local and regional examinations, education financing and student welfare programmes. The data compiled are used to calculate indicators which are necessary to monitor the progress of numerous targets and goals such as the monitoring indicators for the 2015-2020 Education Sector Development Plan. These indicators are used by the DOEIGR and National Government as well as regional and international agencies such as the OECS, Caribbean Development Bank, World Bank, UNICEF and UNESCO. They assist in the monitoring, evaluation and review of the education system’s progress in achieving its targets and goals for example Education for All (EFA), Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
