Pre-primary school gross enrollment ratio (%)

Percentage of total enrollment in pre-primary education, regardless of age, compared to the population of the corresponding age group. The indicator is calculated as the total pre-primary education enrollment, based on the national education cycle, divided by the population of the official age group for this level, expressed as a percentage. The rate can exceed 100% due to early entry, grade repetition, or when the age distribution of pupils extends beyond the official school-age range, especially in countries with near-universal education at this level.
