TRANSCRIPT
Formative Research Project for EFA 2004-09
Major Findings of the Major Findings of the Longitudinal Study on System
Indicators(based on 62 sample schools from
16 districts
Major Achievements
• Systematic primary education database of 62
sampled schools established.
• Computer software (MS Access) developed for data
management, analysis and reporting—can be
adapted by schools, RCs, ETCs and DEOs.
• 5-year cohort data of the individual student
available with 2002 as the base year.
• School-specific compilation of data made available
to each of the 62 sampled schools
• Critical issues of EFA diagnosed—areas of further
research for in-depth qualitative study identified
Key Outcomes
1. Cohort Analysis (student tracking of all grade-
one new-entrants except school leavers)—
complete primary cycle for 2002 cohort
2. Indicator specific trend analysis of school data
(overall data of students, teachers and
schools)
Promotion flow of first grade new enrollees by cohorts
