period.

About the Data

School enrollment, preprimary (% gross)

Long definition
Gross enrollment ratio is the ratio of total enrollment, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to the level of education shown. Preprimary
education refers to programs at the initial stage of organized instruction, designed primarily to introduce very young children to a school­type environment and to provide a bridge
between home and school.

School enrollment, primary (% gross)

Long definition
Gross enrollment ratio is the ratio of total enrollment, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to the level of education shown. Primary
education provides children with basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills along with an elementary understanding of such subjects as history, geography, natural science,
social science, art, and music.

School enrollment, secondary (% gross)

Long definition
Gross enrollment ratio is the ratio of total enrollment, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to the level of education shown. Secondary
education completes the provision of basic education that began at the primary level, and aims at laying the foundations for lifelong learning and human development, by offering
more subject­ or skill­oriented instruction using more specialized teachers.

School enrollment, tertiary (% gross)

Long definition
Gross enrollment ratio is the ratio of total enrollment, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to the level of education shown. Tertiary
education, whether or not to an advanced research qualification, normally requires, as a minimum condition of admission, the successful completion of education at the secondary
level.

School enrollment, primary (% net)

Long definition
Net enrollment rate is the ratio of children of official school age who are enrolled in school to the population of the corresponding official school age. Primary education provides
children with basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills along with an elementary understanding of such subjects as history, geography, natural science, social science, art,
and music.

Long definition
Adjusted net enrollment is the number of pupils of the school­age group for primary education, enrolled either in primary or secondary education, expressed as a percentage of the
