School Census
Summary: MENFP's school census, the systematic enumeration of schools, pupils and teaching staff.
Key Findings
- The non-public sector holds 88 percent of school premises against 12 percent public, which is why an administrative count cannot substitute for a census.
- Public schools take 22.02 percent of pupils, 486,620, against 77.98 percent or 1,723,601 in the non-public sector.
- Only 60.93 percent of pupils, 1,346,741, are of the legal age for their level: 39.06 percent are over-age or under-age.
- The repetition rate in the first two fundamental cycles runs around 14.5 percent.
- School canteens reach 35.26 percent of schools at that level, 64.32 percent of public schools against 31.37 percent of non-public.
- The pupil-teacher ratio is 29.7, 72 percent of teachers are men, and 26.73 percent of public-sector teachers are trained normaliens against 13.05 percent in the non-public sector.
