Abstract: This is the FSM Education Statistics Digest for the school year 2020-21, a type of publication we started in school year 2017-18. The data is almost entirely from a single integrated source: The Federated States of Micronesia Education Management Information System (FedEMIS), a byproduct of the recent data improvement initiative. In this publication, we include a comprehensive set of key performance indicators and general education statistics. It also details where our data comes from, how it is cleaned up and validated, how the figures we publish are computed (methodology) and analysis and discussions for this year’s data and most of the time the past five year trend. The publication is organized in two parts: our own national and by state education statistics and the education statistics based on the international standards especially for SDG reporting. While various indicators have improved, the FSM continues its slight decline in enrolments. Access to primary education is generally better then both ECE and Secondary. Chuuk seems to have less under reporting then last year but their quality of data is still significantly below that of the other three states and often affects the national average. We boast a very good pupil-teacher ratio and most of our teachers are considered qualified based on our current minimum requirements. Much work remains to be done to improve the teacher certification process. While our teacher attrition needs to be improved, qualified teachers have a higher tendency to remain in the education system.
