Abstract
School data, especially reliable and timely data, is the single most important tool for national educational planning and administration. It is the easiest visible evidence that can be presented to stakeholders to demonstrate that there is progrress in a school. Yet timely, complete and trliable data about education in Nigeria, especially from educational institutions, has been most elusive. The strategy agreed upon long ago was to address the shortfalls in primary and secondary education data first, to be followed by non-formal and tertiary education data. This decision marked the beginning of the annual national school census in 1988.
Prior to 1988, the annual school census was conducted irregularly with very sparse publications and deviod of key indicators for planning purposes. In fact between 1996 and 1998, collected data could not be processed due to shortfalls in funds allocation. However, upon restoration of democratic governance in 1999 and with the introduction of the UBE and other factors such as Nigeria's international commitments to Education for All and the Millennium Development Goals (MD Gs), the need for more comprehensive data -base indicators, which harmonise with global standards become more pressing.
