HIV/AIDS Impact on Education

• The primary impact of HIV/AIDS is to explode the scale of existing systemic and management problems in education;

– Labour attrition, recruitment & training

– Access, enrolment & gender equity

– Increase orphaning & drop out rates

– Reduce household/school fee income

– Learner transition, graduation rates & quality

• AIDS makes dysfunctional systems worse.

Education MIS: The Need

• Need for EMIS to:

– providing system input, performance & output data moreregularly and efficiently

– capturing/monitoring key indicators of HIV/ AIDS impact regularly and efficiently

• Their key feature should be the capacity to capture

monthly time-series data.

HIV/AIDS Data Requirements

• Labour: Establishment and temporary & permanent loss by reason, age, gender, type and school (To inform recruitment & training, loss of contact time/quality – can link to payroll)

• Enrolment: Temporary & permanent loss by reason, age, gender, grade and school (To inform access, gender equity, orphaning & pregnancy rates)

• Transition & graduation rates: Ex-EMIS (To project output & tertiary supply)

• Orphaning: Incidence by month (trends)

• Fees: Loss through school exemptions

• Geographic variation: Analysis by school.

The Response

• A decentralised District Education Management and

Monitoring Information System (DEMMIS)* has been

developed to test viability of monthly data capture;

• The pilot system has been designed to capture key

indicators of HIV/AIDS impact on a monthly basis, to

guide response at the school, circuit and district levels;

The System

• The DEMMIS system captures monthly statistics on

teachers, learners, support staff and school governing

bodies;

• Provides time-series data on enrolment, absenteeism, attrition, contact time, drop-out, pregnancy, orphaning and fees – all by gender and grade;

• Copy to school, one to the Circuit and District;

• Indicators of HIV/AIDS impact can be quickly and easily derived from these;

• Linked to a District Managers Resource Kit with FactSheets and Management Response Checklist………

The Pilot

• Pilot districts in the KwaZulu Natal Province,

South Africa’s worst affected, were selected on

the basis of their demographic mix;

• Pilot initiated in 95 schools in the Dannhauser

District, in February 2001;

• This illustrative sample, over 10 months, involved

32 schools: 20 Primary, 6 Secondary, 5 Combined

and 1 Pre-Primary;

The Geography

• KwaZulu Natal is South Africa’s most populous

province at around 8 million;

• It has a school enrolment of almost 2,7 million,

taught by about 75 000 teachers in almost 3 000

schools;

• It is also the worst affected by HIV/AIDS with an

antenatal HIV prevalence rate of over 36% in 2002;

Teacher Attrition in KZN:A Case Study

Normal Attrition:

In 1999 6.79% of educators left the system according to payroll data analysis -

• Estimated that 0.69% left because of AIDS

• Around 6.1% could be considered ‘normal’ attrition

HIV/AIDS Attrition:

• Only the beginning: AIDS deaths are increasing sharply and will reach close to 5% a year by 2010

Page 18: HIV/AIDS and Education - UNESCO · 3 Number of people living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, 1980-2001 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 1980 1983 1986 1989 1992 1995 1998 2001 Millions Source:

Conclusions

• The total number of educators needed will

decrease

• The training requirement will, however,

increase as educators leave the system

faster than the decline in the need.

• Total decline by 2008 in demand 4 946

• Total educators leaving by 2008 64 418

• Training requirement 2000-2008 59 472

Conclusion

• We are only beginning to track the effects of AIDS in education.

• We have not tracked the financial cost

• We have not tracked the development cost

• Human capital • ‘Manpower’ planning
