Data Processing
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:
Editing before data entry:
All questionnaires were edited in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field

Identifying questionnaire duplication during data entry.
Application of logical and consistency check during data capturing.
Ability to perform within record checks as well as cross records checks
Minimize the number of data entry and fieldworkers errors.
User-friendly handling of errors
Possibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other analytical statistical systems such as SAS and SPSS.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Accuracy of the Data
Two types of errors affect the quality of data, namely 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 data entry process.
Comparison of the Data
This survey is implemented for the second time (the first was in 2008). For comparison purposes, a three years time series should be available.
