Tonga Education Management Information System Data Quality and Improvement Plan

The Government of Tonga accepted a joint offer by the Pacific Community (SPC) and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) to participate in a capacity building project focusing on the assessment of education data quality in Pacific countries, a project supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and UNESCO office in Apia. It was then agreed that a joint UIS-SPC mission would undertake a Data Quality Assessment of Tonga’s education statistical system, expecting the resulting assessment would lead to UIS and SPC providing better support to Tonga in the various areas where needs have been identified.
