| Statistical concept and methodology: | The gross
intake ratio in the first grade of primary education indicates the level of
access to primary education and the education system's capacity to provide
access to primary education. A low gross intake ratio in the first grade of
primary education reflects the fact that many children do not enter primary
education even though school attendance, at least through the primary level,
is mandatory in most countries. Because the gross intake ratio includes all
new entrants regardless of age, it can exceed 100 percent in some situations,
such as immediately after fees have been abolished or when the number of
reenrolled children is large. It is calculated by dividing the number of new entrants (enrollments minus repeaters) in the first grade of primary education, regardless of age, by the population of the official primary entrance age and multiplying the result by 100. Population data are drawn from the United Nations Population Division. Using a single source for population data standardizes definitions, estimations, and interpolation methods, ensuring a consistent methodology across countries and minimizing potential enumeration problems in national censuses. Data on education are collected by the UIS from official responses to its annual education survey. All the data published by the UIS are mapped to the International Standard Classification of Education 1997 (ISCED97). This classification system ensures the comparability of education programs at the international level. UNESCO developed the ISCED to facilitate comparisons of education statistics and indicators of different countries on the basis of uniform and internationally agreed definitions. First developed in the 1970s, the current version was formally adopted in November 1997. The reference years reflect the school year for which the data are presented. In some countries the school year spans two calendar years (for example, from September 2010 to June 2011); in these cases the reference year refers to the year in which the school year ended (2011 in the example). |

| Development relevance: | This indicator helps monitor whether a country is on track to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education by 2015, and whether an education system has the capacity to meet the needs of universal primary education. | ||||||||
