The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MEYS) accepted a joint offer by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) to participate in a capacity building project focusing on the improvement of education data quality in Pacific countries, a project supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
It was agreed that a joint UIS-SPC mission together with a national team would undertake a review of the quality of Tuvalu’s education statistical system, expecting the resulting assessment would lead to UIS and SPC providing better support to Tuvalu in the various areas where needs have been identified. The mission took place from 20 to 28 June 2017.
The report was prepared by the Tuvalu national technical team from the MEYS in collaboration with the UIS Statistics Adviser and the SPC Education Quality and Assessment Programme Monitoring and Evaluation Officer. Its structure follows the DQAF report.
