4 Third-level enrollment includes college and university enrollment and technical and vocational education beyond the secondary school level.

5 Data represent the total enrollment of all ages in the school level divided by the population of the specific age groups that correspond to the school level. Adjustments have been made for the varying lengths of first- and second-level programs. Ratios may exceed 100 because some countries have many students from outside the normal age range.
