Key Indicators for Student and Faculty Data for Higher Education Data Management: East African Community

Higher education data management covers a broad range of information, including students, faculty, other staff, research and development, facilities, and financial resources. This document presents two complementary sets of indicators—student indicators and faculty indicators—designed to support consistent data collection and analysis within higher education systems. These indicators are intended to inform planning, monitoring, and decision-making, with a particular emphasis on understanding and addressing faculty staffing needs, a core objective of the Demographics of African Faculty (DAF) project.
