INTRODUCTION The August 2005, Statistical Digest, like previous Education Statistical Digests, is a means of representing and analyzing data pertaining to the Education system in St. Lucia. Various sub-sectors of the education system are represented, such as, Early Childhood, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary education, National Enrichment and Learning Program and the National Skills Training Program. The digest is an output of a twelve month process which commences with extensive data collection via the annual questionnaire. This questionnaire is sent out to all schools (public and private) at all levels, Ministry of Education departments and the Government Statistics department. Once all the questionnaires are returned, the data is validated. This data validation process involves call backs, entry of data into incomplete questionnaires and re-entry of data into questionnaires if required. The data is then entered into a database, edited, processed and analyzed. The processed data is compiled into a statistical digest document. Some of the information represented is further analyzed and represented as education indicators, which are utilized throughout the digest. These education indicators are explained in the technical notes at the beginning of the digest. A list of the education indicators are highlighted on page xxviii. They are the key indicators of education reform, as contained in the Education Sector Development Plan, 2000 to 2005, and are used as a means for monitoring implementation and progress of education reform initiatives in St.Lucia. The Ministry of Education, HRD, Youth and Sports strongly advises on the use of the statistical digest for planning at all levels. The digest can be accessed via the Ministry’s website: www.education.gov.lc .The data represented in the statistical digest is constantly utilized by students, schools, various departments in the Ministry, external Ministries, regional and international agencies and other individuals doing research. Thus, great effort has been made to ensure that the digest is an accurate and comprehensive statistical package. However, your suggestions for further improvements are welcome. Should you have any comments, please feel free to contact the Corporate Planning Unit at 468-3219 or 468-3220. OVERVIEW Following is a synopsis of the June 2005, Statistical Digest. Early Childhood Education During the academic year 2004/05, there was a total of 151 Early Childhood Education Centers (ECEC) on the island; same as the previous year. The difference is that, of these 151 centers, 38 were Day Care Centers and 113 were Pre-schools, whereas for last year, there were 40 Day Care Centers and 111 Pre-schools. The student enrolment increased from 5,241 last academic year to 5,371 in 2004/05. xix The number of Day Care Centers decreased from 40 in 2003/04 to 38 this academic year. 20 of these centers were government owned and the remaining 18 were privately owned. Consequently, enrolment in daycares also decreased from 1,284 in 2003/04 to 1,253 in 2004/05. The ratio of boys to girls remained at approximately 1:1, although the enrolment for girls was slightly higher than that for boys. The care giver/child ratio remained at 1:10 as for the previous year. In 2004/05, there was a total of 113 Pre-schools on the island, an increase of 2 centers from the previous academic year. Pre-school enrolment continued to increase from 3,939 students in 2002/03, to 3,957 students in 2003/04 to 4,118 students in 2004/05. The ratio of boys to girls remained constant at approximately 1:1 and so did the teacher/child ratio which was 1:12. All Pre-schools are privately owned, with 40% being located in the Castries basin. The gross enrolment rate for the Pre-school level was 73.8% in 2004/05. Primary Education The total number of primary schools remained at 78 for the academic year 2004/05. There has been a moderate decline in the total enrolment from 25,673 to 25,009 over the period 2003/04 to 2004/05. This represents a decrease of 2.6% in student enrolment over the last academic year. This is mainly due to the fact that the intake at the primary level is less than the number of leavers. These leavers are the result of students graduating from Grade 6 to Form 1, students entering the Vieux – Fort Technical institute, dropouts and transfers, and students exiting at Grades 8 and 9. The percentage share of girls in primary schools has remained constant at 47% for the past three academic years. There was an increase in the number of dropouts from 168 in 2002/03 to 194 in 2003/04. Sixty–five percent of the 194 dropouts were males. The number of male dropouts has been higher than females from as far back as 1995/97. In 2003/04, 72% of the dropouts were from grades 8 and 9 and 67% of these were males. One hundred and forty four students transferred out of St.Lucia for the academic year 2003/04. The repetition rate increased from 2.3% to 2.6% over the period 2003/04 to 2004/05. 55% of the repeaters in 2004/05 were males. The highest number of repeaters was recorded in District I, followed by District IV and then District III. Out of the 648 repeaters recorded in 2004/05, 209 were in Grade K and 123 in Grade 6, a trend also noticeable in the last academic year. Possible reasons for this trend can be: 1. Grade K repeaters comprise many students who started Kindergarten below the stipulated age of 5 years. 2. In Grade 6, students are of age to re-write the common entrance examination if they were not assigned to a secondary school after the first attempt and are permitted to repeat the grade. There were 1,024 teachers, 85% of which were females, in the academic year 2004/05. The percentage of female teachers in primary schools has remained the same from 2002/03. The teacher/student ratio decreased slightly from 1:25 to 1:24 xx over the last two years. Only six schools operated at a teacher/student ratio of 1:30, which is the desired ratio for primary schools.81% of the primary schools’ teaching force were trained, 87% of which were females. The number of trained male teachers has been decreasing over the last three academic years, from 2002/03. Four primary schools had less than 50% trained teachers each. The percentage of trained teachers was over 80% for Education Districts 1-III and V-VI, as was recorded for the previous academic year. District VIII recorded the lowest percentage of trained teachers, which was 70%. The teacher attrition rate increased significantly from 2.4% in 2002/03 to 3.2% in 2003/04 at the primary level. This rate includes teachers who left the teaching service on account of resignation, termination, secondment, retirement and death. 154 teachers, or 13% of teachers in primary schools, were on study leave in 2004/05. Thus the gross teacher enrolment for primary schools is 1178. Approximately 25% of the primary school students benefited from the School Feeding Program during the academic year 2004/05, and approximately 5% received bursaries from the Ministry of Education, HRD, Youth and Sports. For the academic year 2004/05, there was a decrease in the mean for the Minimum Standards Grade 2 English Language and an increase in the Mathematics mean. The mean for mathematics was at its highest for the past seven years. For Grade 4 Minimum Standards, the mean increased for English Language and was at its highest for the past seven years, but the mean decreased for both Mathematics and General Paper. Of the 4,146 students who wrote the Common Entrance exam, 2,519 or 61% were assigned to Secondary schools. This is the same percentage of students assigned as the previous academic year. Of the total number of students who sat the Common Entrance exam, 2,131 or 51% scored at or above the national mean. This 51% is 2 percentage points higher than last year’s figure. Vieux-Fort Technical Institute The Vieux-Fort Primary Technical Institute first opened in 2002/03. The student enrolment has increased slightly from 330 in 2003/04 to 334 in 2004/05. The number of males attending this institute has been higher than females for the past two academic years. The student enrolment comprised 66% boys in 2003/04 and this percentage decreased slightly to 62% for the past academic year, 2004/05. The teacher/pupil ratio increased from 1:14 to 1:18 over the period 2003/04 to 2004/05. This was as a result of the decrease in the number of teachers from 23 to 19 over the aforementioned period. For the period 2004/05, 37% of the total teachers were females, a decrease from 48% which was the percentage of female teachers for the year 2003/04. Also of significance is that xxi the number of trained teachers increased from 57% to 74% for the period 2003/04 to 2004/05. Special Education The total number of special education centers remained at 5: Dunnator School, School for the Blind, Soufriere Special Education Center, Special Education Center (Vieux-Fort) and the Lady Gordon Opportunity Center. The combined student enrolment was 238 for 2004/05, the same as the previous academic year. 45% of the 238 students were females. The highest enrolment was at the Lady Gordon Opportunity Center followed closely by the Dunnottar School. 24 students had multiple handicaps and 73% of all the disabled students were those with Learning disabilities/ Mentally Challenged students. There were a total of 47 teachers at the Special Education Centers and the teacher/pupil ratio remained at 1:5 as for the previous academic year. The percentage of professionally trained teachers increased from 52% to 60% over the period 2003/04 to 2004/05. 36% of all teachers were trained in at least one area of specialization. Secondary Education The total student enrolment in secondary schools for 2004/05 was 12,815, a slight decrease of 116 students from the previous academic year. This represents a gross enrolment rate of 73%, of which 55% were girls. Currently there are 19 secondary schools. If the projected increase in access to secondary education is realized by 2009/10, secondary gross student enrolment will be approximately 15,597 reaching a gross enrolment rate of 93%. The secondary school dropout rate remained at 1.3% in 2002/03; same as for the previous academic year. The number of male dropouts increased from 74 to 87 whilst females decreased from 87 to 75 for 2002/03 to 2003/04. In 2003/04, 70% of all dropouts were from forms 4 and 5 and 70 students obtained transfers out of St.Lucia. The total number of leavers decreased slightly from 237 to 232 over the period 2002/03 to 2003/04. There were 730 teachers at secondary schools, 635 of which were females. 57% of the secondary school teaching force was trained, an increase by 2 percentage points from the previous academic year. The percentage of female trained teachers has been higher than male trained teachers over the past seven years. In 2004/05, 61% of female teachers were trained as compared to 51% for males. The number of graduate teachers decreased slightly and hence the percentage of graduate teachers decreased from 55% to 52% over the period 2003/04 to 2004/05. 56% female graduate teachers and 45% male graduate teachers were also recorded in 2004/05. The higher percentage of female graduates was observed from 1994/95 to 2004/05, with the exception of the academic year 1996/97. Teacher/student ratios remained at 1:18 from 2001/02 to 2004/05. In 2004/05, a total of 102 teachers were on study leave giving a gross teacher enrolment of 832. The teacher attrition rate remained at 5.9% from 2002/03 to 2003/04. xxii A total of 2,078 students, an increase by 256 students over the previous year, received bursaries from the Ministry of Education in 2004/05. This represents 16% of secondary school students.

Vieux-Fort Comprehensive Post Secondary Department There were 320 students enrolled at the Post Secondary Department of the Vieux-Fort Comprehensive School for the academic year 2004/05. 74% of these students were females whilst 26 % were males. There has been a consistent increase in the enrolment in this department from 1996/97 up to 2004/05. The majority of these students have been enrolled in the A’ Level and Business Studies Divisions over the period 1996/97 to 2004/05. Skills Training The National Skills Development Center (NSDC) provides both soft skills and technical/vocational courses. The main skills training center is located at Bisee in Castries and there are three other satellite centers. The NSDC offers training under various project heads based on financial contributions to the center. The number of persons trained at NSDC increased from 521 persons in 2003/04 to 739 in 2004/05. In 2004/05, 71% of the trainees enrolled were females. xxiii National Enrichment and Learning Program The National Enrichment and Learning Program (NELP) has been in existence from 2001/02.Courses are offered in two phases, Phase One from September to March and Phase Two from April to July. The total number of centers decreased slightly from 16 in 2003/04 to 15 in 2004/05 and consequently the enrolment decreased from 1991 to 1413 over these two academic years. A total of 795 learners were enrolled in Phase 1 of the programme, 83% of which were females. A total of 618 learners were enrolled in Phase 2 of the programme, 80% of which were females. There was a total of 73 facilitators, 67% of which were female in Phase 1 and 58 facilitators, 71% of which were females in Phase Two. The facilitator/learner ratio was 1:11 for both phases.

Hence they do not feature on the list of Registered clubs/organisations. Data on club membership was not available at the time of compilation.
