Adjusted net enrollment rate, primary (% of primary school age children)

This educational metric evaluates the proportion of children within the designated primary school age range who are actively enrolled in educational institutions, encompassing both primary and secondary levels. By expressing this enrollment as a percentage of the total population in the age bracket, the indicator provides critical insights into access and participation in education. A higher percentage reflects successful outreach and retention efforts, suggesting that educational policies are effectively addressing barriers to enrollment. Conversely, a low rate may highlight systemic issues such as socio-economic challenges or regional disparities, guiding policymakers in targeting interventions to improve access and quality of education for all children within the primary school age cohort.
