Study notes
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 nations and across subnational boundaries over time.

The Education SDIs include teacher effort, teacher knowledge and ability, and the availability of key inputs (for example, textbooks, basic teaching equipment, infrastructure). The indicators provide a snapshot of the learning environment and key resources, which need to be in place for students to learn.

Togo Service Delivery Indicators Education Survey was implemented in May-June 2013 by Togo's Ministry of Education’s National Evaluation Commission (Commission nationale d’évaluation; CNE) in close coordination with the World Bank SDI team. Data collection and processing was carried out by a team of consultants managed by TIMS Services. Information was collected from 200 primary schools, 1,141 teachers, and 1,938 grade four students.

Sampling

Sampling procedure
The SDI survey was done jointly with the PASEC survey undertaken by the Ministry of Education's CNE and therefore used its sample.

The population of interest was defined as the universe of second, fourth, and fifth graders enrolled in Togolese primary schools that adhered to the national curriculum. Only formally-recognized primary schools are considered, excluding community schools and special-needs schools (e.g. handicapped). A community schools stratum was considered and abandoned, since government routinely adds them to the list of official schools and then provides normal support even during the school year.

The sample frame was drawn from the 2011-2012 school statistical yearbook produced by the statistical department of the Ministry of Education.

The sample frame was stratified along ownership and regional lines to maximize within-group homogeneity. There are eight strata that may be broken down into public and non-public and further within each group. Public schools are broken down by education regions (six in total) and non-public schools are broken down into faith-based and non-denominational institutions.

Depending upon the concepts of interest, the sampling procedure is done in two (absence rate, classroom observation) or three stages (pupils).

Detailed information about sampling procedure is available in the attached report.

Questionnaires
The SDI Education Survey Questionnaire consists of six modules:

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 to collect information about school finances (not included in the harmonized data)

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.

Module 6: Teacher Assessment - A test of teachers covering mathematics and language subject knowledge and teaching skills.
