Reasons for unavailable data and, planned actions to improve coverage This information has not collected until academic year 2010/2011. Started with academic year 2011/2012 data is available. This information is not available in the statistical reporting. No actions to be planned because table is optional This information is not available in the statistical reporting. If in future this information will be mandatory, it will be added to the data collection questionnaire. Statistical report for vocational education institutions will be improved Not applicable   CSB is receiving information from the Ministry of Education and Science and from the Treasury; therefore we can not influence data collection process in other institutions. To the extent possible we will improve data coverage.

8. Comparability Top
 

-
8.1. Comparability - geographical
 

The extent to which statistics are comparable between countries.

A. Deviations between the national methodology and the UOE Manual: non financial data

Reference period Data collection period Reference date for student and personnel ages
School/academic year 2010/2011 Enrolments, new entrants, gradutes, class,personel and language learning, ISCED levels 1,2,3 (general education) - on 1st September 2010;
Enrolments, new entrants, gradutes, personel, ISCED levels 3 (vocational education),4,5,6 - on 15th October 2010 		 On 1st January

 

Enrolment: data collection period Enrolment in multiple fields of education Count of students: if relevant, detailed list of variables for which double counting are significant and why. Regional enrolment Foreign languages learning
ISCED levels 0,1,2,3 (general education) - on 1st September 2010
ISCED levels 3 (vocational education), 4, 5, 6 -on 15th October 2010 		     NA  

 

Entrants New entrants by field of education Graduates and graduations from specific programmes Graduates versus graduations Graduates: unduplicated count Graduations by field of education
      Data on graduates represent information on graduations, because in Latvia there is no Register of Graduates.
Estimates of the Ministry of Education and Science show that the number of graduates practically does not differ from the number of graduations. 		    

 

Educational personnel in work- and school-based combined programmes Educational personnel taxonomy: classroom teachers (ISCED 0-4) and academic staff (ISCED 5-6) Educational staff at ISCED level 0 Educational personnel at ISCED levels 5-6 Educational personnel and temporary replacements
         Data on temporary replacements are not available

 

B. Deviations between the national methodology and the UOE Manual: financial data

Expenditure at the pre-primary level - the childcare component
Reference period Expenditure at the pre-primary level: is the childcare component excluded (yes/no/partially)? If yes, which is exactly the share of "day care component" to be excluded from the data on the pre-primary level? If no, which estimation method is used to determine the share? Expenditure for teaching/academic hospitals Ancillary services expenditure Evening child care
 No deviations from the UOE manual Yes In Local government budget we can see education expenditure (ISCED 0)   Transportation services provided for pupils by the local government. Due to the fact that local government budget do not have separate funding for the evening child care mentioned means are included in total costs. It regards ISCED level 1. 

 

Cost of a dual-system programme to the employer. Adjustment of enrolments in case there is no data on expenditure at the workplace Expenditure for contributions on pension schemes Households' payments for private tutering Student living costs Ancillary services coverage
    Fully funded – employer’s state social insurance compulsory payments.     Special transportation
Free meals for ISCED 1 (grades 1and 2)

 Main changes compared to data transmitted for the previous reference period
Enrolments Entrants Personnel Foreign languages learning Regional data Graduates Education expenditure
Changes in the educational system 1) 1990-2005 - 4 years of primary education (ISCED 1) grades 1-4 and 5 years of basic education (ISCED 2) grades 6-9
 2) From school year 2006/07 ISCED 1 includes grades 1-6, ISCED 2 - grades 7-9.
 3)Since 2000, Latvia has introduced college education, which is based on secondary education and lasts 2 or 3 years. College education is defined as the first level of higher professional education (ISCED 5B)
4) From the school year 2003./2004. vocational education institutions that ensure the acquisition of 1st level Professional higher education are counted as higher education institutions and colleges.
5) Starting from the school year 2002./2003. pre-school education is compulsory for five and six year old children.		         Until 1989 secondary education was acquired within 10-11 years, starting from 1990 students have to graduate 12 grades. 1) In 2001, changes in the source of crediting for study and student subsidising were made – instead of credited from state budget students were subsidised from the means of credit institutions.
2) Starting from 2001 a common regulatory system of financing was introduced - funding for each higher education institution is granted basing on common principles. Higher education institution funding was changed to regulatory principle of financing - state determined the number of specialists needed and funding necessary to educate them.
Changes in the coverage Mentioned changes in educational system that are affecting ISCED 1, 2 and 5B are influencing and thus changing also data coverage in corresponding ISCED

Type of data Detailed variables concerned ISCED level Reference year(s) Data source (internal to UOE or not) Data type (sample-based or not) Data source name in English Reason Description of the estimation method
Personnel Classroom teachers by level of education, sex and employment status (part-time; full-time)  ISCED 2(vocational), 3(vocational), 4 2010/2011 Internal to UOE Population based Yearly count of vocational education programmes
No breakdown of number of teachers in ISCED 2(vocational), 3(vocatioanl),4 age and employment status		 Basing on the total number of teaching staff, the percentages comprised by part-time in full-time workers are calculated. We assume that percentage of teaching staff is equal to the percentage of teachers. Data on full-time and part-time workers in ISCED 2, 3 and 4 are calculated as follows: corresponding % are multiplied by the number of teachers in each level, including females and males.
Personnel Classroom teachers by level of education, sex and employment status (full-time equivalent)  ISCED 2(vocational), 3(vocational), 4 2010/2011 Internal to UOE Population based Yearly count of vocational education programmes
No breakdown of number of teachers in ISCED 2(vocational), 3(vocatioanl),4 age and employment status		 Full-time equivalent is calculated by dividing part-time number with the coefficient of the corresponding programme, and the acquired number is summed with the full-time number. The same coefficients are used as in Enrl1A and other tables. Coefficient in vocational education equals to 3.3.
