Adjusted primary school net enrolment ratio: Percentage of children of the official primary age group who are enrolled in primary or secondary education.
Gender parity index, primary education: Ratio of female to male values of adjusted primary school net enrolment ratio.
Secondary school net enrolment ratio: Percentage of children of the official secondary age group who are enrolled in secondary education.
Gender parity index, secondary education: Ratio of female to male values of secondary school net enrolment ratio.
