Moreover,literacy indicators are also calculated forurban and rural areas. However,expenditure indicators and those of thetertiary education are given for thenational level only.The following notes pertain to the indicatorslisted above:a) Since reliable data on enrollment by ageare not available, specially for primaryeducation, gross enrollment ratios werecalculated for all levels.b) The population figures in the age groupscorresponding to different educationallevels were estimated by applyingSprague Multipliers to the census populationby age groups in 1960 and 1996 respectively.c) Some of the enrollment and transitionratios exceed 100% as a result of thenumbers of students above (or below) theage limits of the education level, thereturn of families from abroad and/orIntergovernorate migration.d) Since enrollment in higher education bygovernorate is not available , thecombined first-, second-, and third-levelgross enrollment ratios for variousgovernorates were derived afterdistributing total enrollment in highereducation according to the relative sharesof the governorates in pre-universityenrollment.e) The differences between sciences vs.humanities and theoretical vs. practicaldichotomies are mainly due to thevarying classification of technicalinstitutes (2yeas after secondaryeducation).Nutrition and food securityThe report includes the following nutritionand food security indicators:● Daily calorie supply per capita● Shares in daily calorie per capita(vegetable vs. animal products)● Children ever breastfed %● Underweight below age five %● Food production per capita index(1979-81=100)● Agricultural production as % of GDP● Cereal imports (1000 metric tons)● Food exports as % of food imports● Food imports as % of merchandiseexports● Food self sufficiency ratio %Egypt Human Development Report 2000/2001 - 119
