1 Introduction

The 2010 Nigeria Education Data Survey (NEDS) was a nationally representative sample

survey implemented primarily by the National Population Commission (NPC) in collabo-

ration with the Federal Ministry Of Education (FMOE) and the Universal Basic Education

Commission (UBEC).

The 2010 NEDS has the following specific objectives:

Provide data on the schooling status of Nigerian children of basic education

age, including factors influencing whether children ever enroll in school and

why students drop out of school

Quantify household expenditures on children’s schooling by examining dif-

ferent patterns of expenditure by various background characteristics

Measure parents’ attitudes to schooling, including the quality of schooling and

provide an understanding of attitudes that shape their willingness to send

their children to school

Measure the frequency of student absenteeism and reasons for missing

school in order to suggest possible approaches to maximizing attendance

Provide data that allows for trend analysis and State comparisons

A very high overall response rate of 98% was achieved with interviews completed in

26,934 households.

Percentages may not add to 100 due to one of the following reasons:1. Rounding2. Categories were omitted

DEFINITIONSECONOMIC STATUS QUINTILES represent a family’s level of wealth. This measure is divided into five categories describing the lowest wealth to the highest wealth. Wealth includes factors such as housing and household goods. This measure was created by the National Population Commission and contains imputed values.

According to the Basic Education Act (2004), Basic Education is the education provided for children ages 3-15.

PRE-PRIMARY EDUCATION covers ages 0–5 years. Education at this level is offered by both government and private providers. Pre-primary education aims to promote a smooth transition from home to school, prepare children for primary education, and provide adequate care and supervision for children while their parents work.

PRIMARY EDUCATION is provided for children ages 6–11 years. The curriculum aims to inculcate permanent literacy, laying a sound basis for scientific, critical, and reflective thinking, and equipping the child with core life skills for effective functioning in the society. Primary education is free and compulsory.

JUNIOR SECONDARY (Also displayed as Jr. Secondary, or JSS) education is offered to children between the ages of 12 and 14. It completes the basic education segment of the education structure. The curriculum at this level is both academic and pre-vocational. Its major thrust is to provide the child with diverse knowledge and skills for entrepreneurship and educational advancement. As part of the Universal Basic Education Program (UBE), it is free and compulsory.

NET ATTENDANCE RATIO = All children 6-11 in jr. secondary school / All children 6-11 in the population

GROSS ATTENDANCE RATIO = All children primary school (regardless of age) / All children 6-11 in the population
