rule rather than the exception (Figure 2.3). It is<br />

quite common <strong>for</strong> a country to combine a GIR<br />

above 100% with an NIR below 50%, particularly<br />

in sub-Saharan Africa (e.g. Botswana, Equatorial<br />

Guinea, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa,<br />

Togo and Zimbabwe), but also in some Arab<br />

States (e.g. Mauritania and the United Arab<br />

Emirates) and in countries with fairly well<strong>de</strong>veloped<br />

education systems (e.g. Indonesia,<br />

Nicaragua and the Philippines). Delayed entry is<br />

very frequent, especially in sub-Saharan Africa,<br />

and in Latin America and the Caribbean, while<br />

early enrolment is frequent as well in many<br />

countries in all regions (Figure 2.4).<br />

Forty per cent of sub-Saharan African<br />

countries <strong>for</strong> which data are available have<br />

GIRs below 95%, meaning that access to<br />

primary schools remains an issue. This is<br />

especially so <strong>for</strong> poor rural children (particularly<br />

girls). Low GIRs are most common in<br />

francophone countries (Burkina Faso, Congo,<br />

Djibouti, Mali and the Niger have GIRs below
