ED38 Proportion of primary and secondary school teachers trained to teach subject(s) using ICT facilities
(for ISCED levels 1-3)
Definition:
Number of teachers trained to use ICT to teach
subject(s) in primary and secondary schools, expressed
as a percentage of all teachers for ISCED levels 1-3.
Data requirement:
(TTI) Number of primary and secondary school teachers
trained to teach subject(s) using ICT facilities for ISCED
levels 1-3.
(refer to questionnaire item D.1.5)
(T) Total number of teachers for ISCED levels 1-3.
(refer to questionnaire item D.1)

Purpose:
To measure the availability of teachers trained to
use ICT to teach subject(s) in primary and
secondary schools.
Method of collection:
Administrative data collection through annual
school census (or extract data from school
records).
Data source(s):
Statistical unit of the Ministry of Education or,
alternatively, the national statistical office.

Analysis and interpretation:
A high percentage or value for this indicator can be
interpreted as good e-readiness in terms of teachers
being trained to use ICT to teach subject(s) in primary
and secondary schools.
When calculated by ISCED levels, geographical regions,
urban/rural areas and for individual educational
institutions, and analysed in conjunction with other
indicators regarding the proportion of teachers currently
using ICT to teach subject(s), this indicator can show
discrepancies so that appropriate policy measures can
be taken to better deploy trained teachers and to train
untrained teachers.
Methodological and definition issues or
operational limitations:
Trained teachers are counted according to nationally
defined qualification standards. See Appendix II for a
more detailed definition of teachers trained to teach
subject(s) using ICT facilities.
