School Register of Needs Survey 2000 - South Africa

Abstract
---------------------------

The Department of Education commissioned the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) to conduct a national survey on the locality and other information linked to all schools in South Africa. The 2000 version was intended to update the 1996 version of the register of needs database, include 3000 institutions that were previously excluded, provide accurate data on geolocality of schools, school conditions and the availability of resources, and measure progress and trends betwee 1996 and 2000.

Data appraisal
---------------------------

This version was adapted from a cleaned dataset prepared by the Developmental Policy Research Unit (DPRU), which was obtained by DataFirst at an unknown date between the original release and February 2012. This version replaces numerous string valued variables with integer valued ones, which is particularly useful as case sensitivity has artificially separated semantically identical observations into different categories for some variables. These integer valued string variables are labelled and the codelist relating those labels is provided as an accompanying document. The original version contained a number of anomalies, errors and misspecifications that make it intractable. This version partially remedies these issues and represents a cleaner version of the data than the original (which can be requested from DataFirst).

摘要
---------------------------
教育部门委托人文科学研究中心（HSRC）进行一项全国性调查，旨在收集与南非所有学校相关的地域及其他信息。2000年版的调查旨在更新1996年版的需求数据库登记册，纳入3000所之前被排除在外的机构，提供关于学校地理位置、学校状况及资源可获取性的准确数据，并衡量1996年至2000年间的进展和趋势。

本版本数据系从发展政策研究单位（DPRU）准备的数据集中改编而来，该数据集由DataFirst在原始发布日期与2012年2月之间某个未知日期获取。本版本将多个字符串值变量替换为整数值变量，这对于某些变量来说特别有用，因为案例敏感性将语义上相同的观察结果人为地分到了不同的类别。这些整数值字符串变量被标记，并提供了相关的代码列表作为附属文档。原始版本包含了一些异常、错误和不规范之处，使得数据难以处理。本版本部分解决了这些问题，并代表了比原始版本更干净的数据版本（可从DataFirst获取）。
