Access to Education: Indicators This presentation includes data on: n Total enrollments by region n Out of School Children (OOS) of primary school age n Net Enrollment Rates (NER)/Gross Enrollment Rates (GER) n Correlations between GDP per capita and enrollment rates for each educational level n Education equality: Income/gender/location disparities in education access

Acronym Guide

Summary n Less than half of the world’s pre-primary age students were enrolled in pre-primary education in 2010 (48.3%), but enrolment rates have been rising over time. SSA and MNA’s enrolment rates lag far behind other regions with less than ¼ of pre-primary age children enrolled. n In 2010, 90.7% of primary age students worldwide were enrolled in school. The rate has improved since 2000 (84.5%), but little progress has been made since n 60.7 million primary school age children were out of school (OOS) in Over half of the world's out of school children live in SSA and over 1/5 live in South Asia. n Since 2008, the global rate of children out of school has remained the same at 9.3%.

Summary (continued) n 62.5% of secondary school age students were enrolled in 2010, which was an 9.4 percentage point improvement over SSA lags far behind other regions in secondary enrollments with just over ¼ of students enrolled in n The global tertiary gross enrollment rate (GER) has gradually improved from 19% in 2000 to 29.2% in 2010 but GERs vary greatly across regions. More than half of youth are enrolled in ECA (55.6%) compared to 6.8% of youth in SSA. n On the global level, gender parity in pre-primary and primary enrolment rates has been achieved. There is a small male bias in secondary enrolment rates (GPI = 0.96) and a female bias in tertiary enrolments (GPI = 1.08).

Pre-Primary Education

How many children are enrolled in pre-primary education? n Around 164 million children were enrolled in pre-primary education in This is up from 134 million in 2005 and 112 million in n Over half of enrolled students were in either SAS or EAP (48 and 40 million respectively). n 25% of total pre-primary enrollments were in India and 16% were in China. n 79 million (48.2%) were girls.

How many children are enrolled? Pre-Primary – Gross Enrolment Rates (GER) n Globally, less than half of pre-primary age students were enrolled in pre- primary education in 2010, but all regions increased pre-primary enrolments between 2000 and n SAS almost doubled its pre-primary GER between 2000 (25.4%) and 2010 (48.3%). n LAC’s GERs are consistently the highest among regions ranging from 56.8% to 70.1%. n SSA and MNA lag behind other regions with 17.7% and 23.8% GERs respectively in Pre-Primary Gross Enrolment Rates have increased in all regions since 2000

Which countries have the lowest pre-primary enrollment rates? n 8 of the 10 countries with the lowest pre- primary net enrolment rates (NER) are in SSA. n Of the 130 countries with data, 18 countries had less than 10% of their children enrolled in pre-primary education. n 36 countries had less than 25% of their children enrolled in pre- primary. n 19 countries had pre- primary enrollments higher than 90%.

Which countries have increased pre- primary enrollment rates the most? n These countries have increased their pre-primary GERs by 25 to 66 percentage points between and n Half of the countries at least doubled their NER over time. n Algeria improved from 3.4% to 66% – a 1928% improvement. n Only two of these countries have a current NER over 90% – Barbados and Maldives.

Are lower pre-primary enrollment rates related to lower national income per capita? n All the low income countries ($1025 or less) have less than 16% of children enrolled in pre- primary education except Gambia (27%), Kenya (29%), and Tanzania (33%). n 24 countries had NERs less than 15%. Only 4 of those had GNI per capita higher than $1100. All the countries were lower than $4780 (Bosnia). n All of the countries with NERs higher than 90% had GNI greater than $12,000 except Thailand, Grenada, and Maldives. All low income countries had less than one-third of children enrolled in pre-primary education. Ireland Switzerland Qatar Australia Norway

Do gender disparities exist in pre- primary enrollment rates? n Gender parity indices (GPIs) are calculated by dividing the female value for an indicator by the male value, so perfect gender parity equals 1. A value below 1 indicates a bias toward males. A value above 1 indicates a bias toward females. n Globally, the GPI has been increasing from.98 in 2000 to perfect gender parity (1.0) in n Most regions are very close to gender parity (+/- 0.02) in Only MNA lags behind. n 4 of 6 regions have a slight female bias. Gender parity in pre-primary enrolments (1.0) has been achieved globally and in most regions.

Primary Education

How many children are enrolled in primary schools? n Around 691 million children were enrolled in primary school in This is up from 685 million in 2005 and 655 million in n Over half of enrolled students were in either SAS or EAP (182 and 172 million respectively). n 21% of total primary enrollments were in India and 15% were in China. n 330 million (47.7%) were girls.

n In 2010, 90.7% of primary school age children around the world were enrolled in primary or secondary education. n This figure rose each year between 1999 (83.7%) and 2008, but the figure remained unchanged between 2008 and n All regions have increased ANERs since 2000, but SSA and SAS improved the most – 16 percentage points in SSA and 14 percentage points in SAS. Continued… Have primary enrolments improved? Primary – Adjusted Net Enrollment Rates (ANER) Primary Enrolment Rates have increased since 2000, but little progress has been made since 2008.

n Since 2008, SSA has only improved by 0.1% and SAS by 0.4%. n SAS's improvement moved it closer to other regions by 2010 (92.3%), but SSA still lags far behind with a ANER of 76.2% in n ECA’s ANER peaked in 2002 at 96.6% and has been lower since. n EAP and LAC are the only 2 regions with ANERs higher than 95% in Have primary enrolments improved? Primary – Adjusted Net Enrollment Rates (ANER) Primary Enrolment Rates have increased since 2000, but little progress has been made since 2008.

Which countries have the lowest primary enrollment rates? n In the top 2 countries (Eritrea and Djibouti), less than half of primary school age children are enrolled in primary school. n All of the countries with the lowest adjusted net enrollment rates (ANER) are in SSA except Djibouti. n Of the 20 countries with the lowest primary ANERs,15 are in SSA. n There is a large range among the listed countries: #10 Gambia’s ANER almost doubles #1 Eritrea’s.

Which countries have increased primary enrollment rates the most? n These countries have increased their primary ANERs by 22 to 42 percentage points between 1999/2000 and 2010/2011. n Ethiopia and Niger more than doubled their ANERs, but more than 1/3 of children are still not enrolled in Niger. n Only Zambia has increased its ANER to over 90%. All the countries need to continue improving to reach universal primary enrolment.

Do countries with low national income per capita have low primary enrollments? n Low income does not necessarily indicate lower primary enrolment rates: Countries with the lowest gross national income (GNI) per capita (<$500) have ANERs ranging from 35% (Eritrea) to 97.5% (Malawi). n Countries with the lowest primary ANERs (less than 75%) have GNI p.c. less than $1270. Equatorial Guinea is the only exception with 56.3% primary ANER and $14,540 GNI pc. There is no clear association between low national income p.c. and low primary enrollment rates.

Which regions have reached gender parity in primary enrollments? n Gender parity indices (GPIs) are calculated by dividing the female value for an indicator by the male value, so perfect gender parity equals 1. A value below 1 indicates a bias toward males. A value above 1 indicates a bias toward females. n Globally, the GPI has been increasing from.93 in 1999 to.98 in n Most regions are very close to gender parity (+/- 0.03). Only MNA and SSA lag behind. n EAP, ECA, and LAC have achieved gender parity in primary (+/- 0.02). All regions except MNA and SSA are within 0.03 of gender parity in primary enrollments.

Have most countries reached gender parity in primary enrollments? n Half of countries with data have already achieved gender parity (+/-.02). n 78% of countries with data are within 0.05 of gender parity. n Many more countries have a bias toward males in primary enrolments (GPI<1). n Afghanistan has the largest male bias at.69 followed by Central African Rep. and Chad at.73. n San Marino has the highest female bias at % of countries are within 0.05 of gender parity in primary enrollments. Female Bias Male Bias

Which countries have the largest gender disparities in primary enrolment rates? n The male primary gross enrolment rate in these countries is much higher than the female gross enrolment rate. n 7 of 10 countries are in SSA. 2 are in South Asia and 1 is in MNA. n Of the 20 countries with the lowest GPIs (GPI<0.9),14 are in SSA, 2 are in SAS, 2 are in EAP (Togo and PNG), and 1 is in LAC (Dominican Republic).

Which countries have decreased gender disparity in primary the most? n These countries have moved from 0.14 to 0.25 percentage points closer to gender parity (1) between 2000/2001 and the most recent data year. n 6 of the 10 countries are in SSA; 2 are in MNA and 2 in South Asia. n Senegal now has higher female enrollment rates than male enrollment rates (1.06). n Burundi and India have reached gender parity.

Do gender, income, or location disparities exist in primary attendance rates? n EAP, ECA, LAC, and MNA do not have large disparities in primary net attendance rates (NAR) between genders, rural/urban locations, or top/bottom income quintiles. n The largest disparities in most regions are associated with income. In SSA and SAS, there is a 20 percentage point difference between the top/bottom income quintiles. n Rural students in SSA also have NARs that are 12 percentage points lower than urban students. 2 Gender, income and location disparities are small in all regions except except SAS and SSA.

n In 1999, 16% of primary school age children were OOS. 42% of children in SSA and almost a quarter of children in SAS were OOS. n By 2010, 9.3% of children were OOS globally, but SSA’s rate was still much higher at 23.8%. n Most of the progress in reducing the rate of children OOS occurred between 1999 and Since 2008, global and regional rates have basically remained the same. Which regions have the highest percentage of children out-of-school? Rates of Children Out-of-School have decreased since 1999, but progress has slowed since 2008.

Which countries have highest rates of children out-of-school? n More than half of primary- school age children are out of school in Eritrea and Djibouti. n More than a quarter of primary school aged children are out-of-school in 14 countries. n 47 countries have more than 10% of children out- of-school. n Nine of ten countries are in SSA.

Which region has the most out of school (OOS) children? n In 2010, ¾ of the world’s out-of-school (OOS) children lived in two regions: SSA and SAS. n Over half (55%) of the world's out of school children lived in SSA. n ECA had the smallest percentage of the world’s OOS children at 1.8% followed by MNA (3.9%) and LAC (4.4%). Out-of-School Children of Primary School Age by Region (2010)

How many primary school age children are out of school (OOS)? n In 1999, million children were out of primary school. n The total decreased to 72.6 million in 2005 and 60.7 million in n There were 47 million fewer children OOS in 2010 than in n Since 2008, the global number of out-of-school children has grown from million to million (2009) and million in The total number of out-of-school children has decreased by 47 million since 1999.

How much have regions decreased the total number of OOS children? n SAS and MNA more than halved the total number of OOS children between 1999 and In SAS, the total number of OOS children decreased by 25.6 million or 66%. n SSA decreased the total number by 12.3 million, which was a 27% decrease between 1999 and 2010, but the total number increased by 1.5 million between 2008 and All regions have decreased their total number of out-of-school children since 1999.

Which countries have the most out- of-school children? n 45.8% of the world’s out- of-school children live in the 10 countries listed here. n Five of the countries are in SSA and 3 are in SAS. n Nigeria almost has as many OOS children as the regional totals for LAC, ECA, and MNA combined (10.9 million). n The US is #8 in the ranking because of the large size of the school age population and also possibly because of a lack of consistent data collection on home- schooled children.

Are more females out-of- school than males? n In 1999, there were almost 62 million females out-of-school compared to 45.5 million males. 58% of the world’s out-of- school children were female. n In 2010, around 32 million girls were out of school compared to 28.6 million boys. 52.5% of out-of-school children were female. n The gap between male and female totals decreased from 16.5 million to 3.6 million between 1999 and More Females are Out of Primary School than Males

Where are more females out-of- school? n Over half of the world’s out of school girls are in SSA, and just under 1/4 are in South Asia. n South Asia has decreased its total number of females out-of-school by 17.7 million since The region’s total dropped from 25 million to 7 million. n SSA has also decreased its total from 24.3 million in 1999 to 17.5 million in out of every 4 Out-of-School Girls are in either Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia

Which countries have the most females OOS? n Around half of the world’s out-of-school females live in these 10 countries. n 36% of the world’s out-of- school females live in the Top 4 countries. n Nigeria, Pakistan, and India all have more our- of-school females that the sum of all females out-of- school in LAC and ECA. n Half of the countries are in SSA and three are in South Asia.

Are there gender, income, or location disparities in the % of children OOS? n In all regions, more low income students are OOS than high income students. SAS has the largest income disparity at 29 percentage points difference between the top and bottom quintiles. SSA follows closely behind with 24 points. n A higher % of boys are OOS in EAP, ECA, and LAC, but a higher % of girls are OOS in SAS and SSA. n In all regions except for ECA, a higher % of rural students are OOS. This disparity is highest in SSA at 15 percentage points. 2 Low income is the greatest source of disparity in percentages of OOS children across regions.

Secondary Education

How many children are enrolled in secondary schools? n Over 543 million students are enrolled in secondary school worldwide. n This total is up from 510 million in 2005 and 451 million in n Over half of the world’s secondary school students are in either EAP or SAS. n 38 percent of total secondary enrolments are in China (18%) and India (20%) n 258 million (47.5%) are girls.

n In 2000, just over half (53%) of secondary school age children were enrolled. This figure has risen by 9.4 percentage points to 62.5% in n ECA has consistently had the highest net enrolment rates (NERs) over time at around 80%. n Unlike in primary, secondary NERs have consistently improved over time globally and in most regions. Continued… How many children are enrolled? Secondary – Net Enrollment Rates (NER) Over one-third of secondary school age children are not in school, but progress has been made over time.

n EAP has made the most progress between 2000 (55%) and 2010 (72%) followed by SAS, which improved by 11 percentage points between 2000 and n SSA improved by 6.7 percentage points between 2000 and 2007, but still was more than 20 percent behind other regions with NERs ranging from 20-26%. n Almost ¾ of secondary school age students are not enrolled in SSA, and almost half are not enrolled in SAS. How many children are enrolled? Secondary – NER (continued) Over one-third of secondary school age children are not in school, but progress has been made over time.

Which countries have the lowest secondary enrollment rates? n More than 2/3 of secondary school age students are out-of-school in these countries. Almost 90% of students are not enrolled in Niger and Angola. n 25 countries have less than half of secondary school age students enrolled. n Djibouti is the only country on the list that is not in SSA. n #10 Eritrea’s NER is almost 3 times higher than #1 Niger’s NER. n #5 Mozambique improved from 3.4% in 2001 to 17.3% in 2011.

Which countries have improved secondary enrolment rates the most? n These countries have improved their secondary net enrolment rates (NER) by 16 to 32 percentage points between and n Bhutan has more than doubled its 2001 NER, but still has around half of secondary school age students OOS in n Despite their improvement, only three of these countries have NERs higher than 75%.

Do low secondary enrollments relate to low national income per capita? n Low gross national income (GNI) per capita does not necessarily lead to low secondary NERs. Low income countries (<$1025 GNI pc) have NERs ranging from 10.2% (Niger) to 85% (Tajikistan). n All countries with a GNI pc over $10,000 have a NER over 70% except Liechtenstein and Uruguay. n Almost all countries with secondary NERs less than 50% have a GNI pc less than $3000. The exceptions are Swaziland and Angola. There is no clear association between low national income per capita and low secondary enrolment rates.

Which regions have reached gender parity in secondary enrollments? n Globally, the gender parity index (GPI) for secondary net enrollment rate (NER) has been increasing from 0.92 in 2000 to 0.96 in n ECA is the only region within +/ of gender parity (1.0). n LAC has consistently had higher female NERs. n EAP has reversed from a male bias (0.96) in 2000 to a female bias (1.06) in n SAS has greatly decreased gender disparity over time. n SSA has maintained a male bias 0.80 since Gender disparities in secondary enrollments vary greatly across regions. Female Bias Male Bias

Does gender parity exist in secondary enrollments in most countries? n Just over half (52%) of countries with data are within 0.05 of gender parity in secondary enrollments. n Unlike primary enrollments, more countries have a female bias in secondary enrolments. 85 countries have GPIs higher than 1 while 71 countries have GPIs less than 1. n 6 countries have perfect gender parity (1.0): Slovenia, Mauritius, Swaziland, Japan, Indonesia, and Cyprus. More countries have higher female secondary GERs than male secondary GERs. Female Bias Male Bias

Which countries have the largest gender disparities in secondary enrolments? n In 9 of 10 countries, the male GER is much higher than the female GER. In Lesotho – the female GER is higher than the male rate. n 8 of 10 countries are in SSA. 1 is in South Asia and 1 is in MNA. n Of the 20 countries with the greatest gender disparity, 5 have a female bias. n 14 of the top 20 are in SSA.

Which countries have decreased gender disparity in secondary the most? n These countries have moved from 0.19 to 0.34 percentage points closer to gender parity (1) over time. n Sweden and St. Lucia improved from a large female bias (1.26) toward gender parity. n The other countries have improved from a male bias (0.40 to 0.85) toward gender parity. n 3 of 10 countries are within 0.05 of gender parity in the most recent year.

Tertiary Education

How many youth are enrolled? Tertiary – Gross Enrolment Rates (GER) n Around 30% of tertiary age youth were enrolled in tertiary education This figure was a 10 percentage point improvement over 2000 (19%). n ECA has consistently had the highest tertiary GERs of any region. Over half (55.6%) of tertiary age youth were enrolled in 2010 which is a 17 percentage point increase over n EAP has more than doubled its tertiary GER over time. n SSA lags behind other regions with 6.8% of youth enrolled in Almost ¾ of tertiary age youth around the world are not enrolled in tertiary education.

Which countries have the lowest tertiary enrollment rates? n These countries have less than 4% of tertiary age students enrolled in tertiary education. n 33 countries have less than 10 percent of tertiary age youth enrolled. n 50 countries have more than half of tertiary age youth enrolled. n 8 countries have tertiary GERs higher than 80% and 4 countries have tertiary GERs higher than 90%: Finland, the United States, Cuba, and Korea, Rep.

Which countries have improved tertiary enrolment rates the most? n These countries have improved their tertiary gross enrolment rates by 27 to 70 percentage points between and n 7 countries more than doubled their tertiary GER – Cuba, Venezuela, Cyprus, Montenegro, Czech Rep., Romania, and Armenia. n All of the countries are in LAC or ECA.

Do countries with higher income per capita have higher tertiary enrollment rates? n Most countries with gross national income (GNI) per capita less than $1000 have tertiary GERs less than 11%. Tajikistan (20%) and Kyrgyz Rep (49%) are the two exceptions. n Countries with GNI pc more than $20,000 have tertiary GERs higher than 50% except for Qatar (10%), Luxembourg (10.5%), Brunei (17.2%), and Liechtenstein (36.0%). Most countries with a GNI pc higher than $20,000 have tertiary GERs higher than 50%.

Which regions have reached gender parity in tertiary enrollments? n In 2000, the world gender parity index (GPI) for tertiary enrollments was 1.0 – perfect gender parity. Since then, female GERs have been higher than male GERs, and the GPI has been moving above 1.0. n MNA is the only region within +/ of gender parity in LAC and ECA have consistently had higher female GERs, and EAP has reversed from a male bias to a female bias. n SAS and SSA have maintained a strong male bias in tertiary enrolments over time. Gender disparities in tertiary enrolment rates vary greatly across regions.

Does gender parity exist in tertiary enrollments in most countries? n Only 9 countries are within +/-0.05 of gender parity in tertiary enrollments. n 63% of countries have a female bias in tertiary enrolments vs. 37% with higher male enrolment rates. n One country – Vietnam – has perfect gender parity (1.0). n In 10 countries, the female GER more than doubles the male GER. These countries are island nations in LAC and Qatar (see next slide). The majority of countries have higher female enrolment rates than male enrolment rates in tertiary education.

Which countries have the largest gender disparities in tertiary enrolments?

Do gender, income, or location disparities exist in post-secondary attendance ratios? n Levels of gender disparity in post- secondary attendance are much lower than levels of location and income disparity. More girls than boys attend post-secondary schools in EAP, ECA, and LAC. n Rural areas have between 5 (SSA) and 15 (LAC) percent lower attendance ratios than urban areas. n Income is the largest source of disparity across regions. Income disparities range from 8 percentage points in SSA to 34 in LAC. 2 Income is the largest source of disparity in post- secondary gross attendance ratios in all regions.
