Foreword
The Ministry of Education is committed to improving the quality of education. This objective can only be achieved if there is
information on which to base action plans. It is for this reason that the Ministry emphasizes the importance of having accurate and
reliable statistical information that assists policy-makers in making sound decisions.
Basic education statistics is the official, annual education information publication of the Ministry of Education (MoE). This academic
year 2004, the publication has included essential education indicators.
Special thanks are due to the many thousands of teaching staff and other staff who submitted various information on Education
Statistics, and these institutions: Primary Schools, Secondary Schools, CDSS, Malawi Examination Board (MANEB), Teacher
Development Unit, University of Malawi, University of Mzuzu, National Statistics office (NSO) and MoE – Planning Division in
particular Education Division Offices and the Statistics Unit for the data collection, data entry and analysis.
Every effort was made to incorporate the most frequently requested information, however for further and more detailed information
may be obtained from the Ministry of Education Headquarters. Please feel free to give us serviceable feedback regarding the content
of this booklet.
The information in the Basic Education Statistics and Indicators has been gathered from the annual questionnaires completed by Head
Teachers of all government, Religious Agency, private schools. The information collected reflects the condition of schools as of the
third week of June 2004 unless otherwise stated. The Primary education Advisors, Cluster leaders, CPEA or District education
managers were consulted in the completion of the questionnaires. The completion of these questionnaires was done by August 2004.
This academic year EMIS collected 95% of the questionnaires sent to primary and secondary schools.
The Ministry assures users of this publication that all means have been pursued to make the information in this issue very highly valid
and reliable.
Data in all tables, unless otherwise stated refer to the 2004 academic year. Table numbers are sub-grouped under corresponding
sections. Charts are sequenced in a continuous ascending order throughout the publication.
