The ratio in the above table refers to the “Gross Enrolment Ratio” which is defined as “Total enrolment in a specific level of education, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the eligible official school-age population corresponding to the same level of education in a given school year” by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). According to this definition, the gross enrolment ratio in a given school year may be greater or less than 100%.

The 2016 Population By-census provides a benchmark for revising the population figures compiled since the 2011 Population Census. Gross Enrolment Ratio has been compiled using the revised population figures.
