- Classification used
- The intended age for the last grade of each level of education is the age at which pupils would enter the grade if they had started school at the official primary entrance age, had studied full-time and had progressed without repeating or skipping a grade.
- Disaggregation
- The indicator is disaggregated by sex, location, wealth and other dimensions specified in global indicator 4.5.1 (parity index).
- Key statistical concepts
- The number of persons in the relevant age group who have completed the last grade of a given level of education is divided by the total population (in the survey sample) of the same age group.
Formula:
where:
𝐶𝑅𝑛 = completion rate for level n of education
𝑃𝐶𝑛,𝐴𝑔𝑒𝑎+3𝑡5 = population aged 3 to 5 years above the official entrance age a into the last grade of level n of education who completed level n
𝑃𝐴𝑔𝑒𝑎+3𝑡5 = population aged 3 to 5 years above the official entrance age a into the last grade of level n of education
𝑛 = ISCED level 1 (primary education), 2 (lower secondary education), or 3 (upper secondary education)
