Series Information

This survey is part of the Service Delivery Indicators (SDI) project, an initiative led by the World Bank. SDI surveys track the quality of service delivery in primary schools and frontline health facilities across Africa and other regions of the world. The indicators can be used to track progress within and across countries over time and aim to enhance the active monitoring of service delivery to increase public accountability and good governance. Ultimately, the goal of the program is to support policymakers, citizens, service providers, donors, and other stakeholders in enhancing the quality of service delivery and improve development outcomes.

Since the inception of the initiative in 2010, twenty-six surveys have been completed in twelve countries in Africa, capturing the health and primary education service delivery experience of over 500 million people. The surveys have been extended in Africa (with SDIs in the pipeline or envisioned in Benin, DRC, Cameron, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Cote D’Ivoire, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Malawi, and Mali) and beyond: data collection for the first SDI surveys in Latin America (Guatemala), East Asia/Pacific (Indonesia), Europe and Central Asia (Armenia, Moldova and Ukraine), Middle East and North Africa (Iraq), and South Asia (Bhutan) are underway or being considered.

With the exception of Module 3 (school finances), the datasets distributed here were harmonized to a common standard to facilitate comparisons across countries and over time. The data was also anonymized to preserve the confidentiality of the data of respondents. The harmonization and anonymization work were conducted by the SDI team at the World Bank.

SDI surveys are documented in the Microdata Library as Service Delivery Indicators Health Surveys and Service Delivery Indicators Education Surveys.

Abstract

The Service Delivery Indicators (SDI) are a set of health and education indicators that examine the effort and ability of staff and the availability of key inputs and resources that contribute to a functioning school or health facility. The indicators are standardized allowing comparison between and within countries over time.

The Education SDIs include teacher effort, teacher knowledge and ability, and the availability of key inputs (for example, textbooks, basic teaching equipment, and infrastructure such as blackboards and toilets). The indicators provide a snapshot of the learning environment and the key resources necessary for students to learn.

The SDI survey conducted in Morocco in 2016, coordinated in partnership by the National Human Development Observatory (ONDH) and the World Bank, was the first SDI survey implemented in North Africa. Data collection was conducted from March 28 to May 25, 2016. The information was collected from 299 public and private primary schools, a sample of 1,582 teachers to measure absence rates, and 1,537 teachers and 2,917 4th grade students to assess their knowledge.

Scope

Notes

The core Education Service Delivery Indicators are:

Teacher Effort:

School absence rate
Classroom absence rate
Time spent teaching per day

Teacher Knowledge and Ability:

Minimum knowledge among teachers

Availability of Inputs:

Infrastructure availability
Equipment availability
Share of pupils with textbooks
Observed pupil-teacher ratio

The survey also tests grade 4 pupils on mathematics, linguistics and non-verbal reasoning. Additionally, direct observations are made to assess firsthand classroom conditions as well as school inputs and infrastructure that teachers and students have readily available.

SDI instruments also include modules on school's finances and staff/teacher rosters that include their qualifications and demographic information.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

A detailed description of the sampling strategy can be found on the Technical Report’s Annex 2, included as part of the documentation package.

Weighting

SDI survey estimates must be properly weighted using a sampling weight or expansion factor to estimate representativeness of the population of interest.

School, teacher, and pupil-level sampling weights are stored in the "MAR_2016_EDU_Weights.dta" file.

Survey instrument

Questionnaires

The SDI Education Survey Questionnaire consists of six modules:

Module 1: School Information - Administered to the head of the school to collect information about school type, facilities, school governance, pupil numbers, and school hours. Includes direct observations of school infrastructure by enumerators.

Module 2a: Teacher Absence and Information - Administered to head teacher and individual teachers to obtain a list of all school teachers, to measure teacher absence and to collect information about teacher characteristics.

Module 2b: Teacher Absence and Information - Unannounced visit to the school to assess absence rate.

Module 3: School Finances - Administered to the head teacher/director to collect information about school finances (this data is unharmonized).

Module 4: Classroom Observation - An observation module to assess teaching activities and classroom conditions.

Module 5: Pupil Assessment - A test of pupils to have a measure of pupil learning outcomes in mathematics and language in grade four. (Obs.: To protect the confidentiality of test items, this questionnaire was not included as part of the documentation package)

Module 6: Teacher Assessment - A test of teachers covering mathematics and language subject knowledge and teaching skills. (Obs.: To protect the confidentiality of test items, this questionnaire was not included as part of the documentation package)
