DEFINITIONS
Adult literacy rate: Percentage of the population
ages 15 and older who can, with understanding, both
read and write a short simple statement on their
everyday life.
Population with at least secondary education:
Percentage of the population ages 25 and older that
reached at least secondary education.
Gross enrolment ratio: Total enrolment in a given
level of education (primary, secondary or tertiary),
regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the
official school-age population for the same level of
education.
School teachers trained to teach: Percentage
of primary school teachers that have received the
minimum organized teacher training (pre-service or
in-service) required for teaching at the primary level.
Performance in reading, mathematics and
science: Score obtained in testing of skills and
knowledge of 15-year-old students in these subjects
essential for participation in society.
Deviation from mean: Spread of scores in reading,
mathematics and science relative to the average
scores.
Satisfaction with education quality: Percentage
of respondents who answered “satisfied” to the
Gallup World Poll question, “Are you satisfied or
dissatisfied with the education system?”
Primary school dropout rate: Percentage of
students from a given cohort that have enrolled in
primary school but that drop out before reaching
the last grade of primary education. It is calculated
as 100 minus the survival rate to the last grade of
primary education and assumes that observed flow
rates remain unchanged throughout the cohort life
and that dropouts do not re-enter school.
