Data on the country’s educational system is essential in the planning, implementation and supervision of programs in this field. The primary goal of the program is efficient educational system in the country and because this is a priority thrust of the government today, specific objectives of programs and systems are being put up in place to update the quality of our educational system at all levels. Education has always been considered indispensable in bringing about the desired behavioral and attitudinal changes in the population to effect socio-economic development. The far-reaching and enduring effects of education on individual and societal growth and progress call for serious efforts to continuously improve and promote the accessibility of our educational system to the changes in the socio-economic spheres including the demands of development initiatives in the most efficient and effective fashion. Adequate and timely supply of data, therefore, focusing on levels and state resources, facilities and the accomplishments of our educational system is indeed vital. (RSET)
