Introduction to the National and Regional Mid-Decade Assessment 15Editor’s Note: The introduction to the mid-decade assessment also providedopportunity to present national models of rapid data collection and disaggregated datasets. The delegation from Nepal was asked to present the Flash Reporting system,a process supported by UNESCO and endorsed by the local donor community.1.7 Nepal’s Flash Reporting System for EFA MonitoringPresenters: Ramsarobar Dubey, Raswarup Sinha, Devina Pradhananga, Laxmi KumarKhadka, NepalThe Flash Report Method pertains to the rapid collection and reporting approach tothe annual school census. Nepalese Education officials are preparing the production ofa) a beginning of the school year report (Flash Report 1); b) end of the school yearreport (Flash Report 2); and c) consolidated annual school census report that wouldbe useful for education planning and serve the information needs of policy-makers,mid-level and operations management as well as donors.The Flash Report contains analytical tables, graphs and charts for all 75 districts inNepal. The main features of the report are indicators on school by type and level,percentage of new entrants in Grade 1, enrolment by grade, sex and social groups(local caste systems), number of teachers by training, sex and level, percentage ofschools with students getting full sets of textbooks, and number of schools withtransitional language support.Flash Report 1 covers the 18 EFA Indicators, including the total number of childrenenrolled at the start of the school year. Flash Report 2 covers enrolment retention ratesand assesses the delivery of education services, including the number of schoolsconstructed, scholarships given, teachers trained, etc., while the Consolidated Reportcombines Flash 1 and 2 with additional explanations to provide a situational analysis ofthe whole school year.In this Flash system, data is processed and information flows in the following pattern:school → resource centre → district → region → central levelThis system has reduced the data processing and production time from three to fiveyears to six months, thus providing relevant and timely data for use at all levels of theeducation system.Limitations to the system include conceptual clarity, security, late reporting, coverage ofinstitutions, testing and piloting, equipment, capacity, human and manual error, andtime and resource constraints. With the support of UNESCO and the internationaldonor community in Nepal, it is expected that these limitations can be overcome.Education for All: Reaching the Unreached
16 EFA Mid-Decade AssessmentThe features of the Flash Reporting system will serve as a useful tool to highlightdisparities among different regions and groups, and areas specific to the EFA goals thatneed more attention and aid governments in policy-making. This is a criticalcontribution as the most substantial barriers to achieving the EFA goals involveproviding quality education for the unreached children.In Nepal, the greatest disparities in access to education occur between differentgeographical regions, among different ethnic groups and castes, and between girls andboys. In general, the Jananjai (ethnic minorities), the Dalit (untouchable caste), girls,children with disabilities and those living in rural and remote areas (especially in thewestern and mountainous regions) are the most disadvantaged and likely to be left outof the formal education system.UNESCO Institute for Statistics Regional Advisor for Asia-Pacific and AIMS Unit Head,Ko-Chih Tung, and AIMS Programme Specialist Nyi Nyi Thaung have playeda key role in training Nepalese education officials. Both have visited Nepal in the pastto facilitate these trainings.“Nepal can now report statistics within three to four months from the start or end of theschool year given the Flash Reporting system,” Tung explained. “They can completethe report in the current year not in the next year, that’s why it’s called ‘Flash Report’because it’s fast. It addresses the problem of data being years behind.”The availability of up-to-date data allows for easier monitoring and evaluation ofNepal’s progress in meeting the EFA goals. The Flash Report Method is especiallydesigned for monitoring of EFA targets and target groups, such as the disadvantagedcastes, learners with disabilities and those living in various economic zones, and hasbeen established as a pilot for implementation of the EFA mid-decade assessment.These tools and systems in place will allow for collection and analysis of most-recentdata on the national (and sub-national) education system.Education for All: Reaching the Unreached
