Dear Alex,
We regret to inform you that the last FLEMMS result is for the 2013 only. May we share with you the following:
"
The literacy and education survey conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) every five years has begun in Region 8 (Eastern Visayas) and will cover 2, 566 households.
PSA 8 Director Wilma Perante said the Functional Literacy, Education, and Mass Media Survey (FLEMMS) was designed to come up with data to guide the formulation of policies and programs to help improve the population’s literacy and education status.
This round of FLEMMS would be the sixth series of the functional literacy surveys since its previous run in 1989, 1994, 2003, 2008, and 2013. This year’s survey began on November 11 and will run until December 3.
Some 2, 566 sample households were systematically identified in the region. They will be visited by PSA personnel during the data gathering period.
The study aims to estimate the proportion of the population 10 years old and more who are basically literate, estimate the proportion of the population 10 years to 64 years who are functionally literate, and determine their socio-economic characteristics.
The survey also seeks to determine the educational skill qualifications of the population in terms of formal schooling and to determine the mass media exposure of the population.
Based on the 2013 FLEMMS, one in every 10, or about four million, Filipino children and youths were not in school.
The PSA defines out-of-school children as persons aged six years to 14 years who are not attending school. Out-of-school youths are those under the 15 years to 24 years age bracket not attending school, have not finished any college or post-secondary course, and are not working.
Survey results showed that of the nearly four million out-of-school children and youths, 22.9 percent have entered into union or marriage, 19.2 percent cited insufficient family income to send a child to school, and 19.1 percent cited lack of interest in attending school.

Thank you very much.
