Indicators Online Dashboard [2023:HPR]

[Ghislain Hachey]

Start drafting an online version of what will be developed as part of #360

[Ghislain Hachey]

While some dashboard components here should be done as part of the work of @jeremy_kells I don't think we'll have time to do all of it. But the idea is to expose all the supported indicators on this dashboard.

@softwords also I would like to eventually see the whole Indicators Data Grid and Historical Charts pieces move to the new dashboard architecture. Any objections or concern with that?

A comment from Scott in the past to have a quick look at as we work through Indicators dashboard #303

From Scott:

Hi Brian and Ghislain

I was looking for the first time in a very long while at the SIEMIS online and came across the charting functionality. The idea of including charts is a good one however I’ve got some reservations about how the data is being displayed here. A few observations – I’m assuming Population is referring to School Age Population? If so this could be specified with ages, NER and GER show some a movement from 93 to 88.5 which is probably likely due to population denominator impacts on the calculation more than anything else – the way the graph is rendered with the axis incrementing by 0.5% is quite misleading and unnecessarily confusing. It’s a bad use of a graph and needs to be redeveloped. Same goes for GER. Also we shouldn’t express these as decimals – this is not the notation that the UIS and other international bodies use. Again more confusion unnecessarily.

With the graph of Certified Teachers I’m assuming that in 2006 no data was captured. Is it possible to consider using the same data from 2005 here as we do with enrolments? With the exception of 2006 and 2014 the data in time series looks good. Also could we start at the intersection with the X and Y axis at Zero rather than how it is looking currently?

I know that you have all been working on other tasks and this is not something that is perhaps in the to do list but I think it would serve us well to clean this up a bit.

Cheers

Scott

@softwords has started the Indicators online dashboard based on the VERMPAF files.

[Ghislain Hachey]

Another issue mentioned exposing the following indicators:

• Dropout Rate
• Promotion Rate

In any case, the goal is to expose everything available in the vermdata files.

Also, Flow indicators should have the more clear notation (e.g. SY2016-2017=>SY2017-18)

[Ghislain Hachey]

Here are some notes that are important while doing this work

• The current use of education level in routes is not ideal as it is used to define the disaggregation. Since some things in the vermpaf are disaggregated by sectors (teachers) when those do not have the same code the data is not showing. This needs to be revised
• All flow indicators should be produced both using the direct outcome data and also the reconstructed cohort method clearly labeling which is which.
• The flows rates important to include are repetition rate, graduation rate, completion rate, transition rate (ECE=>Pri, Pri=>Sec), promotion rate, dropout rate, survival rate (year on year as other flow rates), survival rate (to specific years including to 1-8, 1-12, 9-12)
• Should include % of repeaters (by education level), repetition rate and number of repeaters
• Should include dropout rate and number of dropouts
• Attendance rate
• % of New Entrants to Primary Education with ECE Experience
• Teachers (FTE, and part-part), Trained teachers, Certified Teacher, Trained/Cert Teachers, PTRs
• Budget indicators: Educational Expenditure as % of GDP, Educational Expenditure as % of Global Budget, Per pupil expenditure.

Something client always looks for also is the Out-of-School indicator. Needs to be added there.

Much of this work has been done over time. Any remaining stuff that is more in demand is simplified and extracted into #1330
