Education Data Quality in Nepal.

Chapman, David W.; Dhungana, Madhup

Evaluation and Program Planning, v14 n4 p307-18 1991

The quality of educational data in Nepal was evaluated by investigating three questions: (1) the extent of reporting error in national education data; (2) accuracy of error estimation; and (3) levels at which error is introduced. Evidence suggests that data may be more accurate than decision makers suppose. (SLD)
