Participation in education
Percentages of children in school are represented by Gross Enrolment Ratios (GER) and Net Enrolment Rates (NER). GER is the number of pupils
enrolled in a given level of education regardless of age expressed as a percentage of the population in the theoretical age group for that level of
education. NER is the number of pupils in the theoretical age group who are enrolled expressed as a percentage of the same population.
