Is the Net Enrollment Rate Estimate of the Philippines Accurate?
Publication | July 2010
This policy brief examines the estimation procedure of net enrollment rate that can be improved to provide a better gauge for development in basic education.
The net enrollment rate (NER) is an important indicator for policy making. More careful estimation suggests that there has been a decline in NER but not as severe as the official Philippines Department of Education statistics indicated. Improvement in the estimation of key indicators will result in better policy making and implementation, and consequently greater contributions to development.
