SUBJECT: GUIDE IN COMPUTING KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
DATE: October 12, 2022
The Planning Service-Education Management Information System Division
(EMISD) issues this Memorandum to provide all personnel across all governance
levels a guide on the computation of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as well as a
comprehensive information on the appreciation and appropriate usage of the
indicators for reporting, and monitoring and evaluation-related matters.
This initiative reiterates the vital role of the KPIs as one of the means of measuring
the current state of education in the country, including its contributions in assessing
programs and projects, monitoring and evaluation, policy development, formulation
of interventions, and support for evidence-based decision making in the business of
the Department.
Enclosed in this issuance is a Guide (see Annex J, which was developed to
disseminate awareness on KPIs that provides answers to the following: (1) how to
(2) definition and methodology; (3) concepts and notes related to cach
indicator; (4) data inputs; (5) level of disaggregation of data. Also, it would primarily
address concerns on the extent of applicability as to the governance level of
computation of a particular indicator (e.g., computed up to the division level or school
level)

AS OF JULY 2022Annex 1
INTRODUCTION
‘The Department of Education (DepEd) formulates, implements, and coordinates policies,
plans, programs and projects in the areas of formal and non-formal basic education. It
supervises all elementary and secondary education institutions, including alternative learning
systems, both public and private. It also provides for the establishment and maintenance of a
complete, adequate, and integrated system of basic education relevant to the goals of national
development.
Having these goals in mind, indicators are crucial in evaluating the performance of the
education system. These indicators also aim at assessing whether the committed indicators
and targets in the Basic Education Development Plan (BEDP) 2030, the Philippine
Development Plan (PDP), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Agenda 2030 are
achieved.
RATIONALE
Performance indicators refer to the several indicators computed and utilized to evaluate the
educational performance in different levels of the education system. They also serve as tools
that are used to report the status of the education system to the community, the whole country,
and the global community.
In this regard, performance indicators:
‘+ Serve as statistics that enable management to monitor effectiveness and efficiency in
the delivery of education services;
+ Measure how far or close one is from an objective;
‘+ Identify problematic or unacceptable situations;
‘+ Meet policy concerns; and
Compare its value to a reference value, to a standard, or to itself.
The BEDP 2030, as issued in DepEd Order No. 24, s. 2022, provides for a strategic framework
that includes the four pillars of access, equity, quality, and resiliency and well-being, which also
provides intermediate outcomes that indicate achievement of these pillars. Performance
indicators then serve as a measure whether these intermediate outcomes and the BEDP 2030,
in extension, are achieved.
For purposes of this guide, the performance indicators discussed are categorized into the
following:
+ Access Indicators
+ Efficiency Indicators
+ Ratio and Proportion
Page | 1Annex 1
ACCESS INDICATORS
Access indicators are used to assess the level of participation of learners or school-age children
ina particular level of education.
In computing access indicators, the following key terms are used
Official School Age. The official school age follows the K-6-4-2 framework of the
K-12 curriculum. Based on Republic Act No. 10533 (otherwise known as the Enhanced
‘Basic Education Act of 2013), the official school ages of learners in the K-12 curriculum
are shown in the table below:
Level Official School Age
| Kindergarten | Ages
Elementary (Grades 1-6) | Ages 6-11
= ee
| Kindergarten to Grade 6 Ages 5-11
Junior High Schoo! (Grades 7-10) Ages 12-15
Senior High School (Grades 11-12) Ages 16-17
Junior High School to Senior High School (Grades 7-12) Ages 12-17
Kindergarten to Grade 12 | ‘Ages 5-17
Projected Population Data. The projected population data is provided by the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). This is the set of data used in computing the
access indicators, the most current of which is based on the 2010 Census of Population
and Housing.
The following are computed as part of the access indicators:
Gross Enrollment Rate (GER)
‘The GER indicates the capacity of the school system to prepare learners to the
following levels of education system: (1) Kindergarten, (2) Elementary, (3) Junior High
School, and (4) Senior High School. It is thus defined as the total enrollment for a
particular level of education regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the eligible
official school-age population of that particular level in a given school year

In computing the GER, take note of the following key points:
© If the GER approaches 100% or surpasses 100%, the rate indicates that the
school system is able to accommodate all children in the official age group.
© TheGER can be used together with the NER to measure the extent of overaged
and underaged enrollment.
© A higher percentage of GER indicates a high degree of access to a level of
education.
‘+ Net Enrollment Rate (NER)
‘The NER is defined as the enroflment in a particular level of education of the official
school-age group, expressed as a percentage of the corresponding population. It
provides a more precise measurement of the extent of participation in a particular level
‘of education of children belonging to the official school age.

In computing the NER, take note of the following key points:
© The ideal maximum value for the NER is 100%.
© A higher percentage of NER denotes a high degree of participation in a level
of education of the school-age group.
‘© Ifthe NER is below 100%, the percentage difference shall not be considered as
the proportion of children not enrolled.
(© The age-specific enrollment ratio is a more precise complementary indicator,
the level of participation in education of the population at each particular age.
‘Comparing the GER and the NER will give you the following implications:
© GER-NER =% overaged and underaged learners
o GER2NER
© GER = NER => there are no overaged and underaged learners
Gross Intake Rate (GIR)
‘The GIR is also known as apparent intake rate. It reflects the general level of access to
elementary education, indicating the capacity of the education system to provide
access to Kindergarten or Grade 1 for the official school-entrance age population. This
includes overaged and underaged learners in new entrants to Kindergarten or
Grade 1. A high percentage of GIR indicates a high degree of access to elementary
education.

Net Intake Rate (NIR)
The computation of the NIR includes only those new entrants to Kindergarten or
Grade 1 learners who are of the official school-entrance age. It provides a more precise
measurement of access to elementary education of the eligible, elementary
school-entrance age population than the GIR. A high percentage of NIR indicates a
high degree of access to elementary education for the official school-entrance age.
However, the NIR shall not exceed 100%.

‘Comparing the GIR and the NIR will give you the following implications:
© GIR-NIR =% overaged and underaged new entrants
o GIR2NIR
© GIR=NIR = there are no overaged and underaged new entrants
Also, note that for Kindergarten, if the NIR is equal to the NER
(ie. NIRyinis =NERjaaie), then it means that there are no repeaters in Kindergarten
of age five (5).
‘Transition Rate
‘The transition rate assesses the extent by which learners are able to move to the next
higher level of education, e.g., Elementary to Junior High School, and Junior High
School to Senior High School. It indicates the degree of access to the next higher level,
‘measuring the upward mobility in the educational hierarchy. A high transition rate
indicates a high access or transition from one level of education to the next level.

EFFICIENCY INDICATORS
Efficiency indicators are used to monitor the objectives of the education system to produce
desired results at the least possible cost: These indicators also measure the quality of the
‘education system in general.
‘The Department uses a template based on the computations set forth by the UNESCO Institute
of Statistics (UIS) to compute the efficiency indicators, Data needed for the efficiency
indicators are first inputted in the Module One of the template, a sample of which is shown
below.
The template requires the following data:
© Enrollment for two consecutive school years (current and previous)
© Repeaters in the current SY
© Graduates in the previous SY
‘Once these are inputted in the Module One, the value of the efficiency indicators will be
automatically computed in the Module Two of the template, a sample of which is shown
below.
Page | 10‘The following are computed as part of the efficiency indicators:
Promotion Rate/Graduation Rate
The promotion rate assesses the extent of learners who are promoted to the next grade
level. This can be computed by grade level in Grades 1 to 5 (for Elementary) and in
Grades 7 to 11 (for Secondary). For Kindergarten and Grade 10, the learners who are
promoted to the next level are called Kinder completers (for promotion to Grade 1)
and Grade 10 completers (for promotion to Grade 11), respectively.
For Grades 6 and 12, promotion rate is called graduation rate wherein it now assesses
the extent of learners who finished the said grade levels.
‘The formulas for the promotion rate/graduation rate using the reconstructed cohort
‘method are as follows:

Repetition Rate
‘The repetition rate determines the magnitude of learners who repeat a grade level.
‘This can be computed by grade level and average per grade level. A high repetition
rate implies high wastage of resources.
‘The formula for the repetition rate is:

School Leaver Rate
The school leaver rate is internationally known as the dropout rate. This covers both
learners who do not finish a particular grade level as well as those who finish but
fail to enroll in the next grade level the following school year.
‘The formula for the school leaver rate is:

Using the reconstructed cohort method, the relationships of the three eventualities,
namely promotion, repetition, and school leaver, imply the following:
© 1=Promotion Rate + Repetition Rate + School Leaver Rate
© Promotion Rate =1 Repetition Rate - School Leaver Rate
© Repetition Rate = 1 ~ Promotion Rate - School Leaver Rate
© School Leaver Rate:
~Promotion Rate ~ Repetition Rate
Page | 12Annex 1
© Cohort Survival Rate (CSR)
‘The CSR computes the percentage of a cohort of learners who were able to reach Grade
6 (Elementary), Grade 10 (Junior High School), or Grade 12 (Senior High School). This
rate is used to assess the internal efficiency and wastage in education.
From the Module Two of the template, the cohort survival rate can be identified as
follows:
* Completion Rate (CompR)
‘The completion rate measures the percentage of enrollment in Grade 1 and Grade 7
‘who complete or graduate in Elementary, Junior High School, and Senior High School.
From the Module Two of the template, the completion rate can be located as follows:
‘Comparing the CSR and the CompR will give you the following implications:
© CSR—CompR =% cohort of learners who were not able to complete the level
© CSR2CompR
© CSR=CompR=>all leamers were able to reach and complete
Grade 6/10/12
+ Coefficient of Efficiency
‘The coefficient of efficiency measures the overall internal efficiency of the education
system, evaluating the impact of repetitions and dropouts on the efficiency of the
educational processes in producing graduates. A high percentage of coefficient of
efficiency indicates a high overall level of internal efficiency and little wastage due to
repetitions and dropouts. In other words, early dropouts, especially in the lower
‘grades, reduce internal efficiency.
Page | 13,Annex 1
n the Module Two of the template, the coefficient of efficiency can be identified as
follows:
Se tan Rte. ta, ne Sy
Hun
‘+ Years Input per Graduate
‘The years input per graduate measures the actual duration of pupil-years required to
produce a graduate. A pupil-year is equal to one school year spent by a learner in a
certain grade level.
‘The ideal value for the years input per graduate for both elementary and secondary is
six (6) years. Any value higher than the ideal implies a high value of repetition and
school leaver (or dropout) rates.
From the Module Two of the template, the years input per graduate can be identified
at the end of the box, as shown below:

‘The efficiency indicators mentioned above are generated from the UIS template introduced at
the beginning of this section. These are not computed at the school level due to vulnerability
to migration of learners, except for the repetition rate, which can be computed manually at
the School level using the same formula provided above.
Efficiency Indicators Using the Old Method
Some indicators can also be computed using the old method, which refers to the conventions
set forth by the Department before the reconstructed cohort method was introduced. These can
be used at the School level. However, for cohort survival and completion rates, the
computation of these indicators at the School level shall be discretionary since the Department
‘mainly uses the reconstructed cohort method for computing these indicators.
The indicators are:

Other Efficiency Indicators
Other efficiency indicators include the following:
‘+ Retention Rate
‘The retention rate determines the degree of learners in a particular school year who
continue to be in school in the succeeding year. Note that this is not equivalent to the
number of learners retained at the end of the school year.

‘+ Simple Dropout Rate
The simple dropout rate calculates the percentage of learners who do not finish a
particular grade level. Unlike the school leaver rate, it does not include learners who
finish a grade level but do not enroll in the next grade level the following school year.
‘The formula for the simple dropout rate is:

RATIO AND PROPORTION
Ratios and proportions are part of quality indicators that the Department computes to
‘complement the other indicators previously presented. On a mathematical perspective, ratios
are comparisons between two sets of objects. These can be expressed in either: (1) colon form,
@) fraction form, (3) decimal, and (4) percent. In the context of performance indicators, ratios
and proportions assess not only the quality of the education system, but also the quantity of
the resources being utilized in schools, Hence, the ratios and proportions are computed at all
levels of governance, except for the IQR, which is not computed at the School level.
‘The Department computes the following ratios in basic education:
Teacher-Learner Ratio
‘The teacher-learner ratio denotes the number of learners per teacher at a specific level
of education in a given school year. A high teacher-learner ratio suggests that each
teacher has to be responsible for a large number of teachers. Conversely, a low number
of learners per teacher indicate that learners will have a better chance of contact with
the teachers, hence a better teaching-learning process.
‘The formula for the teacher-learner ratio is:

NOTE: The data on enrollment and number of teachers for school annexes shall be added up
to the mother school before computing the teacher-learner ratio.
Classroom-Learner Ratio
The classroom-leamer ratio denotes the number of learners per instructional room (i.e,
Kindergarten to Grade 12 classrooms only) at a specific level of education in a given
school year.

+ Inter-quartile Ratio (IQR)
The IQR determines the proportion of a limited resource available to the most
favorable quartile of a recipient group as compared to the proportion available to the
least favored quartile, Similarly, it is a measure of the disparity in the distribution of
available resources which can be calculated at various levels. However, the IQR
mainly focuses on teacher distribution, as the IQR monitors the status and progress of
distribution of teachers in public elementary and secondary schools,

© The IQR must be computed from at least eight (8) schools. A list of below 8 schools
‘cannot generate a true IQR.
© The computation of IOR utilizes school-level data for any level of governance.
To compute for the IQR, follow these steps:
1. Get the required data. Ensure that the data for the enrollment and the number
of resources per school are tally with the official release.
NOTE: In the case of IQR for teachers, data of the annexes shall be added up to the
‘mother school.
2. Compute the ratio per school, then sort the table through the computed ratios
in ascending order.
3. Compute the cumulative frequencies (CF) of the number of enrollment and
the number of resources.
4. Compute the percentage of cumulative frequency of enrollment. Divide each
CF of enrollment by the total enrollment, then express each as a percentage.
5. Find the 25% and the 75% in the % CF column. This will serve as the markers
for Qh (the most favored quartile) and Qs, respectively.
NOTES:
Ifthe exact value cannot be found, look for the closest value.
+ Ifthere are multiple values, take the very first occurrence.
