Definition of Terms:
1. Basic Education - encompasses pre-school, elementary and secondary education and basic non-formal/informal learning programs which focus on functional literacy, livelihood-oriented training, and citizenship/values inculcation for adults and out-of-school youths.
2. Completion Rate - percentage of cohort of pupils/students representing the successful completion of a cycle from the first grade/year until the duration of the level of education concerned.
3. Dropout Rate (or school leavers rate) - proportion of pupils/students who leave school during the school year as well as those who complete the grade/year level but fail to enroll in the next grade/year level the following school year to the total number of pupils/
4. Functional Literacy - ability to read and write with comprehension as well as make simple arithmetical calculations (numeracy) in an expanded sense; possession of minimal skills needed to carry out simple functions in life and to interact with others in society.
5. Participation Rate (or net enrolment ratio) - this refers to the ratio between the enrolment in the school-age range to the total population of that age range.
Sources of Data/Notes:
/1 Starting 90-91, a new methodology in computing participation rate was adopted utilizing the 1990 Census of Pop. And Household data of in-school attendance by age.
/2 The increase in the participation rates could be attributed to the following measures undertaken by DECS:  1)  Reduction of classroom backlogs and teacher shortage;  2)  Reduction of incomplete elementary schools
/3 FLEMMS -  Functional Literacy, and Exposure to Mass Media Survey.  FY 1999 FLEMMS was not conducted due to budgetary constraint.
/4 Target Performance rate (1999-2004) was set before the result of 1997 actual performance rate is available.
/5 Net Teacher to Pupil Ratio.
/6  Gross Teacher to Student Ratio.
/7 Technical Vocational Institutions
/8 Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education/Private Education Student Financial Assistance
