Source: UIS database, except where noted. Enrolment ratios and gross intake rates to last grade are based on the United
Nations Population Division estimates, revision 2015 (United Nations, 2015), median variant.
Note: The country groupings by level of income are as defined by the World Bank but include only countries listed in the
table. They are based on the list of countries by income group as revised in July 2015.
1. Over-age pupils are defined as those whose age is at least two years higher than the official age of entry in a given grade.
The percentage is calculated as the sum of the numbers of pupils who are two or more years above the theoretical age of
their grade divided by total enrolment in lower secondary education.
2. Data reflect the actual number of adolescents of lower secondary school age not enrolled at all, derived from the lower
secondary ANER, which measures the proportion of lower secondary school age adolescents who are enrolled in primary,
secondary, post-secondary or tertiary education.
3. Data reflect the actual number of adolescents and youth of upper secondary school age not enrolled at all, derived from
the upper secondary ANER, which measures the proportion of upper secondary school age adolescents and youth who are
enrolled in primary, secondary, post-secondary or tertiary education.
4. GEM Report team calculations based on data from national and international household surveys.
5. Data are for the most recent year available in the period specified. For details see relevant sources.
6. Altinok (2013); Cheng and Omeova (2014); Ministries of education national reports and websites; PISA 2012 (OECD, 2013),
TIMSS 2011. ‘Nationally representative learning assessment’ refers to national (N) or international (I) formative learning
assessments. Information and data need to be used and interpreted with caution since the different types of assessments
are not necessarily comparable.
7. Refers to the percentage of pupils performing at or above level 1 of proficiency in in reading and or mathematics.
8. GER and GIR to last grade were not calculated due to inconsistencies in the United Nations population data or lack of
United Nations population by age.
9. National population data were used to calculate GER and GIR to last grade due to inconsistencies in the United Nations
population data or lack of United Nations population by age.
10. In the absence of assessments conducted in the proposed indicator grade, surveys of student learning achievement in
the grade below or above the proposed indicator grade are used as placeholders to report on learning assessments and/or
learning outcomes at the end of secondary education.
Data in bold are for the school year ending in 2015.
(z) Data are for the school year ending in 2013.
(y) Data are for the school year ending in 2012.
(*) National estimate.
(**) For country level data: UIS partial estimate; for regional and other country grouping sums and weighted averages:
partial imputation due to incomplete country coverage (between 33% and 60% of population for the region or other
country grouping).
(-) Magnitude nil or negligible
(.) The category is not applicable or does not exist.
(…) No data are available.
