| Short Definition: | 0 | ||||||||
| Long Definition: | Progression to secondary school refers to the number of new entrants to the first grade of secondary school in a given year as a percentage of the number of students enrolled in the final grade of primary school in the previous year. | ||||||||
| Unit of Measurement: | 0 | ||||||||
| Periodicity: | Annual | ||||||||

| Reference Period: | 0 | ||||||||
| Aggregation method: | Weighted average | ||||||||
| Limitations and exceptions: | The quality of data on the transition rate is affected when new entrants and repeaters are not correctly distinguished in the first grade of secondary education. Students who interrupt their studies after completing primary education could also affect data quality. | ||||||||

| Statistical concept and methodology: | The
transition rate from primary to secondary education conveys the degree of
access or transition between the two levels. As completing primary education
is a prerequisite for participating in lower secondary education, growing
numbers of primary completers will inevitably create pressure for more
available places at the secondary level. A low transition rate can signal
such problems as an inadequate examination and promotion system or
insufficient secondary education capacity. It is calculated by dividing the number of new entrants in the first grade of secondary education by the number of students who were enrolled in the final grade of primary education in the previous school year, and multiplying by 100. Aggregate data are World Bank estimates. 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). |
