The purpose of the Post School Education and Training (PSET) Statistical Bulletin is to
provide basic statistical information on PSET Formal Providers in Samoa. This is the
third Statistical Bulletin produced for PSET in Samoa.
The main source of the data contained herein is the Annual PSET Survey conducted

NUS School Enrolments by Programme (2007-2011)
PSET Statistical Bulletin 2012 | 22
SUMMARY:
1. In 2007-2011 NUS total enrolments remained steady for the first three years before
increasing dramatically in 2010 and 2011 due to a high number of Year 13 students
entering the Foundation Programme. Since 2007 the number of student intake has
increased by 36.8%, this would give an expected total of almost 4000 students in the next
five years.
2. Majority (5 out of 6) of the Faculties generally enroll more female than male students each
year. The Faculty of Science is the only Faculty where male student outnumber female
students on annual enrolments. The number of female students relative to male students
enrolled in the Faculty Programmes is increasing each year.
3. In 2011 Foundation Programme enrolments made up 33.6% of total NUS enrolments. 31%
of Year 13 from the previous year entered the Mainstream Foundation Programme in 2011
with eligibility for overseas scholarships.
4. Enrolments for the School Programmes remained steady during 2007 -2011 with student
numbers ranging from 600 – 700. The decrease (10%) in 2011 from 2010 was due to
decrease in student enrolments under the School of Business and General Studies
particularly in the Diploma in Business Programme. The number of male relative to female
students enrolled in School Programmes is increasing.
5. NUS had a population of less than 1% international students in 2011.

Formal Providers in 2011, 12 of which were Certificate Level Programmes.
3. Private PSET Formal Providers enrolled a fair proportion (21.9%) of international
students in 2011 most of whom studied part-time.

working age group of 25 and above.

Economically Active with an estimate of 2,720 unemployed individuals. 23% or
15,614 of the Non-economically active population attended school during the
