It has been the priority of the Ministry to increase access to education and provide quality education to as many children, youth and adults as possible. To achieve this goal and ensure the realization of this priority, education statistics utmost importance as it truly helps policy makers and decision makers in taking a well-informed decision. This is the reason why the Ministry collects and processes education data, analyzes education information and publishes statistics yearbook annually. Since the publishing of the first statistical yearbook in 2011, we have been collecting and processing education data, analyzing and publishing yearbook from the primary and secondary sub-sectors. I therefore hope that in the coming years, data from other education sub-sectors including pre-primary education, TVET and Higher Education will be collected, processed, analyzed and included in the yearbook. I would like to thank the EMIS team in the Policy and Planning Department of the Ministry who have been working hard throughout the whole process of data collection, data entry, processing, analysis and production of this yearbook. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank UNICEF who has been providing invaluable support, both financially and technically for the overall processes of EMIS activities since 2011. I hope data contained in this yearbook will help the Ministry and all the education stakeholders in planning and coordinating their programmes as well as improving the education system in Somaliland.
