As an integral part of the Free, Compulsory and Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) Programme, the EMIS Project was planned to build on the already existing EMIS established in 1988 in the Ministry as part of the Education Reforms.\n\nCurrently, technical support is being given by UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). Through the EMIS, a strong database has been established within the Ministry of Education. Twenty four basic school censuses have so far been conducted since 1988 and the reports on them are available in the Ministry. This is the seventh senior high school census in recent times. This report is presented to provide and upgrade basic data and planning parameters on enrolment, teaching staff, school facilities and examination results. This year's information on Senior High Schools has been produced at national and regional levels. The report is presented in four sections as follows. \n\nSection One gives a brief introduction of the report highlighting briefly the EMIS Project. \n\nSection Two gives a brief summary of the analysis of the data. An attempt has been made in the analysis to compare the previous census (2011\/2012) results with those of the current census. An effort has also been made to analyse the data by type of education, region and gender. \n\nSection Three gives a summary of tables, charts and maps for Senior High Schools. The arrangement of tables follow immediately by maps and charts has been used to facilitate visualisation of the concepts being presented.\n\nSection Four provides detailed statistics at the national and regional levels by type of education. An analysis of WASCE results of the year 2012 has been provided in Section Four.","time_periods":[{"start":"2012-11-30","end":"2013-10-31","cycle":"1 year"}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2012-11-30","end":"2013-01-31","cycle":"2 Months"}],"nation":[{"name":"Ghana","abbreviation":"GHA"}],"geog_coverage":"National level Region District","geog_unit":"District","analysis_unit":"Senior High Schools level with following units of analysis: Enrolment, Classrooms, Facilities, Teachers, Textbooks, Finance, etc","universe":"Senior High School level","data_kind":"Census\/enumeration data [cen]","notes":"The scope of  Annual Schools Census-(Senior High School) 2012-2013 consist of the following;\n\n School Identification\n School Profile and Organisaion\n School Management and Finance\n Instituion's Building and Vehicles\n Characterisitics of School Materials and Equipment\n Enrolment by Subject\n Summary of Enrolment by Programme\n Enrolment by Age\n Students Attendance and Movement\n Teacher Profiles\t \n Teacher Perionds and Subjects Taught\n Students and Teacher Information\n Staff Movement\n Income and Expenditure of the School\n Academic Qualifications\n Professional Qualification\n Management Units\n Ranks"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Ministry of Education","abbreviation":"MoE","affiliation":"Government of Ghana"}],"sampling_procedure":"828 Senior High Schools in Ghana were covered","sampling_deviation":"No deviation","coll_mode":["Other [oth]"],"research_instrument":"The questionnaire consist of the following;\n\nSchool Identification\n School Profile and Organisaion\n School Management and Finance\n Instituion's Building and Vehicles\n Characterisitics of School Materials and Equipment\n Enrolment by Subject\n Summary of Enrolment by Programme\n Enrolment by Age\n Students Attendance and Movement\n Teacher Profiles\t \n Teacher Perionds and Subjects Taught\n Students and Teacher Information\n Staff Movement\n Income and Expenditure of the School\n Academic Qualifications\n Professional Qualification\n Management Units\n Ranks","coll_situation":"Training held for Statistics Officers by headquarters staff\nTraining for headteachers by Stat\/Circuit Supervisors\nQuestionnaires distributed to all headteachers to fill out by Circuit Supervisor\nQuestionnaires returned to District offices for data entry","act_min":"These are the different levels of supervision;\n\nNational EMIS Team\nRegional Statistics Officers\nDistrict Statistics Officers\nCircuit Supervisors","weight":"Not weighted","cleaning_operations":"1.
