FOREWORD

The 2015 Nigeria Education Data Survey (NEDS) is a follow up to the 2013 Demographic and Health Survey, which is usually conducted to collect additional data on education from a subset of Demographic and Health Survey households. The 2015 NEDS is the third in the series to be conducted in Nigeria.

The critical role of accurate and reliable education data in the formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of education policy in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. The survey provided a substantial amount of household level data that is essential to monitor the level of implementation of the goals of the Federal Ministry of Education, including those of the Universal Basic Education Commission, and Education for All. In addition, the 2015 NEDS provided critical information on the demand for schooling. The survey collected data on the age of children at first school attendance, dropout, and parents’/guardians’ perception of the benefits and demerits of schooling and school quality.

The appropriateness of the National Population Commission to serve as the anchor for the survey is informed by our constitutional mandate to conduct periodic censuses and surveys in Nigeria. Essentially, the analysis of these data combined with Government data on education supply will enhance robust decision making on education planning and policies.

I thank the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for its support, the technical partners, and RTI International. I am deeply grateful for the collaboration and commitment of the Federal Ministry of Education, Universal Basic Education Commission, and National Bureau of Statistics in the implementation of this survey. The effort of the technical management team of the survey headed by the Project Director Ezenwa Nwamaka is greatly appreciated.

I also acknowledge Akintola Williams Deloitte (AWD) for providing accounting and disbursement services that allowed for timely and efficient transfer of project funds throughout the duration of the exercise.

Although the sample household selection is valid and reliable, this survey should be used to complement the

more comprehensive national population and the annual school censuses.

QUESTIONNAIRE DEVELOPMENTThe NEDS 2015 was based on the instruments used in 2010 NEDS to ensure as much comparability as possible over time. 2010 NEDS Questionnaires were reviewed at a 3-day workshop with representatives from Government, civil society, and international development partners. The most significant changes were the removal of questions on HIV/AIDS curriculum in schools and the expansion of the literacy assessment to include comprehension questions.The questionnaires were translated into Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.They were then programmed into Mobile Field Surveys software for use on tablets. The software and questionnaires were pilot tested, and changes made to skip patterns and language.

TRAININGTwo hundred and fifty staff were trained of whom 185 were selected as main field interviewers.Training, conducted over 14 days, was facilitated by NPC State Coordinators and included lecture presentations, daily reviews, mock interviews, class exercises, and a written test at the end of every module. After classroom training, trainees practiced 3 days of field interviews in local languages in selected households near the training venue. A refresher training of 4 days was also conducted immediately before commencement of data collection.

DATA COLLECTIONThe fieldwork took place between May and August 2015. Data was collected on tablets using computer assisted interview techniques.Teams composing of 4 field interviewers, a supervisor and a driver were supported by a quality control interviewer who re-interviewed 10% of households. In addition, quality assurance visits were conducted by international and national staff and feedback provided at monthly coordinator review meetings. Weekly progress on household disposition was electronically generat- ed and provided to team supervisors.Significant challenges included insecurity related to Boko Haram, communal clashes and flooding. In Borno,Yobe,Taraba, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Imo and Bayelsa states, household clusters needed to be replaced. Replacement cluster and households were selected following the process used under NDHS 2013. In Borno,Yobe, and Adamawa states, some selected households were identified and interviewed in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Camps established by the federal and state governments.

The 2015 Nigeria Education Data Survey (NEDS) is a nationally representative sample survey implemented by the National Population Commission (NPC) in collaboration with the Federal Ministry Of Education (FME), the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

The 2015 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 different 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

To serve as reference material to basic education managers and administrators at the National, State and the Local Education Authorities in providing useful information that will affect better planning and decision-making for greater efficiency in the basic education sub-sector.

DEFINITIONSPRE-PRIMARY EDUCATION covers ages 3–5 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. This report covers pre-primary children ages 4-5.

PRIMARY EDUCATION covers 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 JSS) EDUCATION covers children between the ages of 12–14 years. 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 UBE (Universal Basic Education Program), it is free and compulsory.

Children

ECONOMIC 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.

SCHOOLING in the context of this report means public or private institutions that offer a full UBEC-approved curriculum. It excludes non-formal education, literacy centers and institutions offering only a part of the UBEC-approved curriculum.
