ANNEX II
Data quality requirements and quality reporting framework
Data quality requirements
The data quality requirements for data on education and training systems refer to the quality reporting dimensions (or
quality reporting criteria) of relevance, accuracy, timeliness and punctuality, accessibility and clarity, comparability, and
coherence.
In particular, the data shall comply with the definitions and concepts as stated in the detailed guidelines for the
UNESCO/OECD/Eurostat data collection on education systems.
Data quality report
Every year, the Commission (Eurostat) shall supply Member States 3 months in advance of the transmission deadline
referred to in Article 4(2) with draft documents for the annual quality report, partially pre-filled with already available
quantative indicators and other information available to the Commission (Eurostat). Member States shall supply the
Commission (Eurostat) with the completed quality report referred to in Article 4(2).
The quality report shall be divided into the following 7 chapters: enrolments, entrants, personnel, graduates/graduations,
finance, foreign languages learnt and regional enrolment data.
The data quality report shall document the compliance with the dimensions of relevance, accuracy, timeliness and
punctuality, accessibility and clarity, comparability, and coherence.
In particular, the data quality report shall document the compliance with the definitions and concepts as stated in the
detailed guidelines for the UNESCO/OECD/Eurostat data collection on education systems.
Deviations from the definitions and concepts as stated in the detailed guidelines for the UNESCO/OECD/Eurostat data
collection on education systems shall be documented and explained and if possible quantified.
In particular, Member States shall provide a description of sources used at the level of tables as described in Annex I and
the use of estimates and revisions shall be clearly identified at the level of tables and breakdowns.
