Youth literacy rate: Percentage of the population ages 15–24 who can, with understanding, both read and write a short simple statement on their everyday life. Population with at least some secondary education: Percentage of the population ages 25 and older that reached at least a secondary level of education. Gross enrolment ratio: Total enrolment in a given level of education (pre-primary, primary, secondary
or tertiary), regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the official school-age population for the same level of education. Primary school dropout rate: Percentage of students from a given cohort that have enrolled in primary school but that drop out before reaching the last grade of primary education. It is calculated as 100 minus the survival rate to the last grade of primary education and assumes that observed flow rates remain unchanged throughout the cohort life and that dropouts do not re-enter school. Primary school teachers trained to teach: Percentage of primary school teachers that have received the minimum organized teacher training (pre-service or in-service) required for teaching at the primary level.
Performance of 15-year-old students in reading, mathematics and science: Score obtained in testing of skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students in these subjects essential for participation in society. Pupil-teacher ratio: Average number of pupils per teacher in primary education in a given school year. Education expenditure: Total public expenditure (current and capital) on education, expressed as a percentage of GDP. MAIN DATA SOURCES Columns 1–9 and 13: UNESCO Institute for Statistics 2013.
