The gross enrollment ratio reflects the total number of male students enrolled in preprimary education programs relative to the population of males in the corresponding age demographic. This metric encompasses all enrolled children, irrespective of their official school age, highlighting the extent to which early childhood education is accessible and appealing to families. Preprimary education serves as a crucial stepping stone, fostering essential social, cognitive, and emotional skills in young boys while easing their transition from home life to formal schooling. By examining this indicator, stakeholders can gain insights into gender disparities in early education access, the effectiveness of enrollment initiatives, and the overall commitment to fostering foundational educational opportunities for all children in the early years.
