Concepts

The indicator measures access in schools to key basic services and facilities necessary to ensure a safe and effective learning environment for all students.

Computational Method

(Number of schools in specified level of education with access to the specified basic services and facilities) / (Total number of schools in specified level of education) x 100%

Disaggregation

Disaggregation is available by type of basic services and facilities (electricity, internet for pedagogical use, computer for pedagogical use, adapted infrastructure, basic drinking water, single-sex basic sanitation facilities, and basic handwashing facilities) and education level (primary and secondary (total, lower and upper)).
