Annual teaching and administrative staff statistics compiled from the MINEDUC School Census, published in the Rwanda Statistical Yearbook 2025. Covers Tables 4.63-4.72 (Table 4.69 is absent from source): total school staff by school status with sex shares (Table 4.63), teaching staff by qualification for preprimary/primary/secondary/TVET levels (Tables 4.64-4.67), all higher education staff by qualification (Table 4.68), higher education academic staff (Table 4.70), higher education administrative staff (Table 4.71), and gender parity index for trained teachers across all levels (Table 4.72). All qualification-breakdown tables disaggregated by sex for individual qualifications; total row is count-only (no sex).
| COLUMN | TYPE | DESCRIPTION | UNIT |
|---|---|---|---|
| academic_year | string | Academic year label (e.g. "2017", "2020/21", "2016/17"). Calendar year format for Tables 4.63-4.67, 4.72 (2017-2023/24); academic year format for Tables 4.68-4.71 (2016/17-2023/24, with 2019/20 absent). Use this column for display; use year for numeric sorting and chart x-axis positioning. | - |
| year | int64 | Start year of the academic/calendar year (e.g. 2016 for "2016/17"). Higher education topics (higher_ed, higher_ed_academic, higher_ed_admin) start at year=2016 and are missing year=2019 (2019/20 gap -- same structural absence as education-graduates). | - |
| topic | string | Dataset sub-table slug. Values: by_school_status (Table 4.63 -- all staff by public/govt-sub/private school status), preprimary (Table 4.64), primary (Table 4.65), secondary (Table 4.66 -- gen. and prof. secondary), tvet (Table 4.67 -- TVET L1-L5), higher_ed (Table 4.68 -- all HE staff), higher_ed_academic (Table 4.70 -- academic staff only), higher_ed_admin (Table 4.71 -- administrative staff only), gpi (Table 4.72 -- gender parity index for trained teachers). | - |
| category | string | Dimension value within the topic. For by_school_status: total, public, govt_subsidized, private. For preprimary/primary/secondary/tvet: total (aggregate, no sex breakdown), phd, masters, bachelors, diploma_a1, a2 (advanced secondary certificate or secondary diploma, depending on level), others. For higher_ed/higher_ed_academic/higher_ed_admin: total (aggregate, no sex breakdown), phd, masters, bachelors, below_bachelors. For gpi: preprimary_trained, primary_trained, secondary_trained, tvet_trained, he_phd, adult_literacy_trained. | - |
| sex | string | Sex breakdown. Values: total, male, female. Null for gpi topic (no sex dimension). For by_school_status: sex shares (share_pct) are only published for category=total. For qualification topics: the category=total row has sex=total only (no male/female sub-rows); individual qualification rows (phd/masters/etc.) have all three sex values. | - |
| count | float64 | Staff headcount for most topics. For gpi topic, contains the GPI ratio (female-to-male ratio, typically 0.6-1.5). Nullable for cells where source shows "-" (not measured). GPI values of 0.0 in the source (2017 for secondary_trained and tvet_trained) are treated as None (not-yet-tracked, not a genuine GPI of zero). | - |
| share_pct | float64 | Sex share as a percentage (0-100 scale). Populated only for by_school_status topic where category=total and sex=male or sex=female. Null for all other topics and for category=public/govt_subsidized/private (sex shares not published for sub-groups). | - |
