The difference between the total NER and the adjusted NER provides a measure of the proportion of children in the official relevant school age group who are enrolled in levels of education below the one intended for their age. The difference between the total NER and the adjusted NER for primary education is due to enrolment in pre-primary education. The difference between the total NER and the adjusted NER for lower secondary education is due to enrolment in pre-primary or primary education.
As other net rates, the total NER is affected by the use of different reference points for age for enrolment and the population.
