Total net attendance rate, primary, both sexes (%)

Total number of students of the official age group for a given level of education who are attending school at any level of education, expressed as a percentage of the corresponding population. Divide the total number of students in the official school age range for the given level of education who are attending school at any level of education by the population of the same age group and multiply the result by 100. The difference between the total NAR and the adjusted NAR provides a measure of the proportion of children in the official relevant school age group who are attending levels of education below the one intended for their age. The difference between the total NAR and the adjusted NAR for primary education is due to attendance of pre-primary education.
