Stock data describe the current state of the educational system by providing total numbers of schools, teachers, and students by education type and level. Flow data describe the internal dynamics of the system through metrics like promotion rates, repetition rates, and dropout rates. Effective educational planning requires statistical data on school facilities and personnel, student populations, education costs and finances, and projects by education type and level.
