— Not available. # Rounds to zero. 1 Selection based on total population for midyear 2005. 2 First-level enrollment generally consists of elementary school, grades 1-6. 3 Second-level enrollment includes general education, teacher training (at the second level), and technical and vocational education. This level generally corresponds to secondary education in the United States, grades 7-12. 4 Third-level enrollment includes college and university enrollment, and technical and vocational education beyond the high school level. There is considerable variation in reporting from country to country. 5 Data represent the total enrollment of all ages in the school level divided by the population of the specific age groups that correspond to the school level. Adjustments have been made for the varying lengths of first and second level programs. Ratios may exceed 100 because some countries have many students from outside the normal age range. 6 Enrollment totals and ratios exclude Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Data do not include adult education or special education provided outside regular schools. 7 Classification or data coverage of levels has been revised. Data by level may not be comparable over time. 8 Estimated by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics. 9 Data for 1994-95. 10 Policy change in 2000-01: introduction of free universal primary education. 11 National estimation. 12 Data for 1991-92. 13 Excludes private institutions. 14 Data refer to universities and exclude Al Azhar. 15 Excludes nonuniversity institutions (such as teacher training colleges and technical colleges) and excludes distance-learning universities. 16 General education enrollment only.
