#Rounds to zero.

1 Selection based on total population for midyear 2013.

2 This level generally corresponds to grades 1-6 in the United States.

3 Includes general education, teacher training (at the secondary level), and technical and vocational education. This level generally corresponds to grades 7-12 in the United States.

4 Includes college and university enrollment, and technical and vocational education beyond the secondary 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 primary and secondary programs. Ratios may exceed 100 because some countries have many students from outside the normal age range.

6 Enrollment totals and ratios exclude the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea).

7 Estimated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Institute for Statistics.

8 Classification or data coverage of levels has been revised. Data by level may not be comparable over time.

9 Policy change in 1999-2000: introduction of free universal primary education.

10 National estimation.

11 Data include both former East and West Germany.

NOTE: Data do not include adult education or special education provided outside regular schools. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
