Notes: Only countries with comparable data <strong>for</strong> both years are inclu<strong>de</strong>d. See source table <strong>for</strong> <strong>de</strong>tailed country notes.<br />

statistical annex, Table 8).<br />

Figure 2.14 displays changes in GERs between<br />

1998 and 2002 at the country and regional levels.<br />

Increases exceeding five percentage points<br />

occurred in about half the countries. Increases<br />

were especially high in Latin America and the<br />

Caribbean, and in East Asia and the Pacific. In<br />

sub-Saharan Africa, GERs grew by more than<br />

15% in more than half the countries, including<br />

Ethiopia, Guinea, Mali, Mozambique, Rwanda and<br />

Zambia, and that of Uganda doubled, albeit from<br />

a very low initial level. In contrast to the <strong>global</strong><br />

trends, substantial <strong>de</strong>creases were recor<strong>de</strong>d in<br />

some countries that already had low enrolment<br />

rates in 1998, among them Swaziland and<br />

Vanuatu.<br />

Gra<strong>de</strong> repetition in secondary education<br />

Gra<strong>de</strong> repetition is an issue in secondary as well<br />

as in primary education. In general, countries with<br />

high repetition rates at the primary level also have<br />

high rates at secondary level (see statistical<br />

annex, Table 8). Gra<strong>de</strong> repetition is especially<br />

frequent in sub-Saharan Africa, where the<br />

percentage of repeaters exceeds 10% in half the
