GROSS ENROLMENT RATIO
GER is the percentage of students enrolled in a grade level within the official school-age population corresponding to the same grade level of education.
The GER can be over 100% as it includes students who may be older or younger than the official age group, students who are repeating a grade, those who enrolled late and are older than their classmates, or those who have advanced quickly and are younger than their classmates. This allows the total enrolment to exceed the population that corresponds to that level of education.
Primary
Primary level includes students studying in Grade 1 to 8.
