The NAR for primary school is the percentage of the primary-school age (A-B years) population that is attending primary school. The NAR for secondary school is the
percentage of the secondary-school age (C-D years) population that is attending secondary school. By definition the NAR cannot exceed 100 percent.
2
The GAR for primary school is the total number of primary school students, expressed as a percentage of the official primary-school-age population. The GAR for
secondary school is the total number of secondary school students, expressed as a percentage of the official secondary-school-age population. If there are significant
numbers of overage and underage students at a given level of schooling, the GAR can exceed 100 percent.
3
The Gender Parity Index for primary school is the ratio of the primary school NAR (GAR) for females to the NAR (GAR) for males. The Gender Parity Index for
secondary school is the ratio of the secondary school NAR (GAR) for females to the NAR (GAR) for males.
