3. Enrolment (Cont'd)

3.3 Cross - Section: Enrolment Across Age / Grade Pre - Primary and Compulsory Education by Sex

The following figures present a picture of transitions across each grade/form level from Kindergarten, primary and secondary education, shown separately for males and females for each country’s base year. Ideally, the graphs should be relatively flat, tapering off towards the end of secondary due to attrition, migration, etc. Marked increases in enrolment from one grade to the next could indicate bottlenecks in the system; marked decreases in enrolment from one grade/form to another could indicate problems of access for students to that particular grade/form.

3.4 Enrolment Trends - Tables

This section details trends in enrolment in pre-schools, primary and secondary schools for countries over a five year period (2009-2014) where available. Information on Gross and Net enrolment rates (GER and NER) and Gender Parity Index (GPI) for pre-school enrolment could not be provided for 2013-14 due to the unavailability of population figures for this age group.
