in terms of existence of ramp facilities in the school premises. Hence, the
indicator shall be measured as the proportion of the total number of schools
with ramp facility to total number of schools.
(f) single-sex basic sanitation facilities; In SY 2017-2018, indicators on the
number of functional toilet bowls and urinals for males, females and persons
with disability (PWDs) were included in DepEd’s School Building Inventory
Form. These shall provide information to measure this indicator as the
proportion of total number of schools with basic functional sanitation facilities
separated for males and females to total number of schools, disaggregated by
level of education.
(g) basic handwashing facilities (as per the WASH indicator definitions). This
indicator is proposed as the proportion of schools with access to basic and
functional handwashing facilities, soap or ash and water available to all girls
and boys during school hours, disaggregated by level of education. A
functional handwashing facility is defined as accessible, with daily water
supply, at learner appropriate height and with appropriate drainage. These
data were included in DepEd’s School Building Inventory Form starting SY
2017-2018.
4.2.1 Proportion of children under 5 years of age who are developmentally on
track in health, learning and psychological well-being, by sex. This indicator
shall be defined as the proportion of children 5 years of age who have
demonstrated readiness for primary education or have demonstrated socio-
emotional development, values development, physical health and motor
development, aesthetic/creative development, mathematics, understanding of
the physical and natural environment, and language, literacy and
communication. The total number of kindergarten pupils and their learning
assessment shall be sourced from DepEd to obtain an estimate of the number
of pupils who are ready for primary education.
4.3.1 Participation rate of youth and adults in formal and non-formal
education and training in the previous 12 months, by sex. For the Philippines,
it is recommended that this indicator be limited to youths, hence, shall be
measured as the participation rate of youths in formal and non-formal
education or the percentage of youths (aged 15 to 24 years old) who are
enrolled in formal and non-formal education or training in the past 12 months.
The data on enrolment can be sourced from the administrative records of
DepEd, Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical and Skill
Development Authority (TESDA).
4.4.1 Proportion of youth and adults with information and communications
technology (ICT) skills, by type of skill. Adopting the global definition for
required computer-related activities to measure ICT skills, this shall be
measured as the percentage of youth (aged 15-24 years old) and adults (aged
15 years and above) that have undertaken computer-related activities,
