Table 3.3 shows secondary school enrolment distributed by age. The enrolment is concentrated between 13 and 19 years. However, because of inclusiveness in the education system the enrolment ranges from less than 12 years to over 23 years

3.1.1. Secondary School Enrolment with Disability

MoESD through Revised National Policy on Education (NPE) (1994) is committed towards an inclusive education system and provision of special education. This in turn facilitates increase in access to education by including orphans, vulnerable children, children in difficult circumstances, children with special education needs and disability.

Statistics Botswana

7 SECONDARY EDUCATION STATISTICS BRIEF ? 2013

Some of the mechanisms in place to improve access for children with special education needs to secondary education is; building of special education units in existing schools, provision of equipment and infrastructure in main stream schools to support children with disability, as well as integrating and mainstream children with special education needs and disability in to the mainstream. Currently there is one Government junior secondary school (JSS) and one senior secondary (SSS) with visual impairment special education unit, two JSS and one SSS with hearing impairment special education unit.

Figure 3.3: Secondary School Enrolment with Special Education Needs by Types of Impairment Form and Sex - 2013

The proportion of students with special education needs is 3.4 percent. Figure 3.3 shows that majority of enrolment with disability were those with intellectual impairment, constituting 35.0 percent followed by those with visual disability at 34.0 percent. Enrolment with mental health disorders constituted the smallest percentage (1 percent) of enrolment with disability. 3.1.2. Enrolment Trend The secondary school enrolment trend presented in figure 2.4 is from 2006 to 2013. However, it should be observed that there were no enrolment figures for 2010 and 2011therefore, Education Enrolment Projections 2004-2016 by CSO (2005) figures were used to estimate the enrolments for this years.

Due to unavailability of actual data for 2010 and 2011, the education enrolment projections from CSO (2005); Education Enrolment Projection 2004-2016 has been used as estimates for 2010 and 2011 enrolment

There was a rapid increase in secondary school enrolment from 2006 to 2008. However, slight decrease occurred in 2009 -2010 followed by slight increase in 2011and 2013.

3.2. Education Coverage

Indicators used to measure the extent of coverage and participation in the education system are Age Specific Enrolment Rates (ASER), Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) and Net Enrolment Ratio (NER). These indicators are derived using population aged 13-17 years and 14 -18 years and secondary school enrolment figures of the same age groups.
