This indicator measures the proportion of secondary school students who attend private institutions, which are governed by non-public entities rather than government authorities. These private institutions can vary widely, encompassing entities such as nonprofit organizations, religious groups, and for-profit businesses, each potentially offering diverse educational approaches and curricula. The enrollment rate in private secondary schools is influenced by various factors, including socioeconomic status, parental choice, and regional education policies. A higher percentage of private enrollment may indicate greater access to alternative educational resources, but it can also reflect
disparities in the public education system, highlighting issues of equity and access to quality education for all students, regardless of their background.
