Country: Fiji Sources: Government of Fiji, UN Children’s Fund Please refer to the attached file. Connecting household and school data for better education insights Every country collects data on its children and its schools, but too rarely do these two sources speak to each other. On one side are household surveys, where families share what’s happening with their children – whether they’re in school, if they’re learning and the barriers they face. On the other are school records, where Ministries of Education track what’s happening inside the schools – their resources, their teachers and which students they serve. MICS-EMIS Analysis brings the two together: working hand in hand with Ministries of Education and National Statistical Offices, it links a country’s school records – called Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) data – with data from UNICEF’s flagship household survey, the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS). This builds on UNICEF’s MICS-Link initiative, which makes the connection possible by noting which school each surveyed child attends. The result is a single, richer source of evidence – one that supports Ministries of Education, National Statistical Offices and UNICEF country and regional teams in generating policy-relevant insights about who is in school, who is being left behind and who is learning. Each source tells part of the story. Together, they reveal the full picture.
