Lõpetamismäära

Lõpetamismäära, often translated as completion rate or graduation rate, is a key performance indicator used in educational institutions and training programs to measure the proportion of students who successfully finish a program of study. It is typically calculated by dividing the number of students who graduate or complete the program by the total number of students who enrolled in that program over a specific period.

This metric is valuable for assessing the effectiveness of educational delivery, student support services, and overall program design. A high lõpetamismäära generally suggests that a program is well-structured, engaging, and supportive of student success. Conversely, a low rate may indicate issues such as curriculum deficiencies, inadequate resources, or insufficient student preparedness.

Different institutions may define "completion" in various ways. For instance, it could refer to earning a degree, obtaining a certificate, or successfully passing all required courses within a set timeframe. The timeframe itself is also a crucial element in calculating the lõpetamismäära, especially for programs of varying lengths.

Understanding and monitoring the lõpetamismäära is essential for accreditation bodies, policymakers, students, and educators. It helps in identifying areas for improvement, allocating resources effectively, and ensuring accountability within the education sector. Comparisons of lõpetamismäära across different institutions or programs can provide insights into best practices and potential challenges.
