Primary school enrolment rate

Primary school enrolment rate is the percentage of children enrolled in primary school relative to the total size of the population of a given country or region. This rate can be used to measure the overall level of education in a given area. A high primary school enrolment rate indicates that the population is being educated and is able to better participate in economic growth and development. It is also a good indicator of economic progress and poverty alleviation, as primary school enrollment gives all children the opportunity to share in the economic growth and development of a nation.
