Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
The Ghana Living Standard Survey of 1988 (GLSS 88) tested educational achievements of all household's members and teachers in 85 of the 170 Census Enumeration Areas (EAs) surveyed at that time. In addition, a school facility survey was carried out in the selected 85 EA.
The objective of the present survey is to provide a wide range of information on, educational achievements, school facilities and household characteristics that can be used to assess the impact of Ghanaian educational reform, and inform future educational policies at the national level. The aim of the survey is to produce data on households' welfare and educational outcomes that can be compared to the information provided by data collected before the inception of Ghanaian educational reforms.

A two stage, or cluster, sampling technique was used. The first stage is to randomly select clusters (or enumeration areas, EAs) from across the country. The second stage is to randomly select households from within the chosen clusters.
The survey is self weighting
Survey instrument
A household questionnaire was addressed to household members. The household questionnaire also includes an anthropometric questionnaire for collecting information on weights and heights of all members of the household A price questionnaire for collecting prices of commodities in local markets. A primary school and a junior secondary school questionnaire collected data on school facilities, staffing and management. A teacher questionnaire was applied to all teachers of the surveyed schools A cognitive skills questionnaire tested educational achievements of all 9-55 years old members of households and a sample of 5 teachers in each school.

There were nine (9) Data collection teams. Each team consisted of six members: 1 Supervisor 4 Interviewers 1 Test Administrator 1 Driver. The Supervisor is the Team leader, responsible for overseeing, monitoring and where necessary correcting the work of the four interviewers and the test administrator. The Supervisor is also responsible for managing the team's equipment, vehicle and funds, and represents the Project Director at the community level. Additionally, the supervisor completes the price questionnaire in all EAs visited by the Team. The Test Administrator applies the cognitive skill questionnaire to all household members and teachers of the EA visited. The Driver transports the members of the team to the places where the survey is being carried out. The driver will also assist the supervisor with the price questionnaire. He may also assist enumerators with the anthropometric equipment. Other hierrachy of supervision is specified in the both interviewer's and supervisor's manuals
A two-week training workshop was organized for personnel involved in the main field data collection activity. This covered the period from 19th to 30th January 2003. After the training and assessment, eight field teams were formed. They conducted household, school and teacher interviews in 84 out of the 85 clusters. One of the clusters surveyed in 1988 was not inhabited in 2003. The data collection took six weeks after the the training.
