NOTE: See supplemental note to Indicator 9 for a detailed explanation of the adjustment of preprimary education enrollment rates for U.S. states. Figures are estimated by using the April, 1990 U.S. Census totals for preprimary enrollment and allocating them to age levels according to the pattern found in the October, 1990 Current Population Survey. See technical note [on pp. 254-257] for a more detailed explanation.
