Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The frame for all establishments in the education sector is updated annually by administrative records of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education.
Deviations from the Sample Design
Two types of errors affected the quality of the report's data, sampling and non sampling errors. Sampling errors are measurable and very limited in this report, because the study covered all educational establishments in the Palestinian Territory. The non-sampling errors could not be determined easily, due to the diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondents, editors, coders, date entry operators…etc). To minimize such errors data was edited before and after the entry process.
