The gross enrolment ratio (GER) for the primary school sector and secondary school sector in 2003 was 118% and 72% respectively. The GER for primary schools exceeded 100% for all seven years from 1996 to 2002. This is not surprising since it has already been established that there were large numbers of over- and under-age learners amongst the Grade 1 intake for primary schools for these years. The overall trend is downwards, which is a welcome improvement, particularly if this has been caused by lower numbers of over-age learners.

In 2002, for example, nearly 20% of all learners in primary schools were either less than age seven or over age 13. The drop in the primary school GER for 2001 and 2002 to 121% and 118% is a positive development and indicates a higher percentage of appropriately aged pupils in primary schools. This was driven by a decline in primary phase enrolment between 2000, 2001 and 2002 against only slight population increases for 7-13 year olds during the same period. Although there are more children in Grades 1 to 7 than there are 7-13 year olds in the population (due to over/under age -enrolment), this situation is reversed for secondary schools. The GER for secondary schools was in the low eighties at 82%, 80% and 81% for 1996, 1998 and 1999, before dropping and stabilising at 74%, 73% and 72% in 2000, 2001 and 2002. A GER of less than 100% is generally indicative of under-enrolment unless large numbers of learners were able to complete the secondary school phase before they reach age 18, which is unlikely to be a factor in the Eastern Cape. The GER measures the capacity of schools to accommodate the population of the relevant school-going age. It is defined as the proportion of learners in a particular grade or phase, divided by the population of the corresponding school-going age and then expressed as a percentage. The GER includes over-aged and under-aged learners. 13.9.3 Repetition Rate: The Repetition Rate measures the extent to which learners repeat grades and is calculated by dividing the number of learners who are repeating a specific grade by the enrolment for that grade in the previous year. High repetition rates give rise to a number of problems, most notable of which is increased class sizes. A repetition rate of 20% for a class of 48 learners means for example that there are 8 extra learners in the class who are repeating the grade. Once learners repeat grades more than once, the problem of over-aged learners compounds difficulties. Table 24 shows that the repetition rates for grade 1 to 12 are 12% in 2001, 12,3% in 2002, and 9% in 2003. The repetition rates per grade for the years 2001 to 2003 show a 5 Year ECDoE Strategic Plan for 2005/06 to 2009/10.
