PARTICIPATION IN EDUCATION
Percentages of children in school are represented by Gross Enrolment Ratios (GER) and Net Enrolment Rates (NER). GER is the number of pupils
enrolled in a given level of education regardless of age expressed as a percentage of the population in the theoretical age group for that level of
education. The GER may be greater than 100% when students younger or older than the official age for a given level of education are enrolled in that
level. NER is the number of pupils in the theoretical age group who are enrolled expressed as a percentage of the same population.
