Participation Rate in Organized Learning

 

Percent distribution of children one year younger than the official primary school entry age at the beginning of the school year by attendance at an early childhood education program or primary school, and the adjusted net attendance ratio (NAR)

 

Definition

 

Percent distribution of children one year younger than the official primary school entry age who are attending an early childhood education program or primary school

 

Numerator:

1)      Number of de facto children age [5] at the beginning of the school year (hv103 = 1 & hv105 = 5) who were:

a)       Attending an early childhood education program (hv121 = 1 & hv122 = 0)

b)      Attending primary school (hv122 = 1)

c)       Neither attending an early childhood education program nor primary school (hv121 = 0)

2)      Number of de facto children age [5] at the beginning of the school year who were attending an early childhood education program or primary school (hv103 = 1 & hv105 = 5 & hv121 = 1 & (hv122 = 0 or hv122 = 1) )

 

Denominator: Number of de facto children age [5] at the beginning of the school year (hv103 = 1 & hv105 = 5)

 

Variables: PR file.

hv103

Slept last night

hv105

Age of household members

hv121

Attended school during the current school year

hv122

Educational level during current school year

hv005

Household sample weight

 

Calculation

 

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Missing data and “don’t know” responses are grouped into a separate category in the percent distribution.

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Collection of this information began in DHS-8. The age for this indicator is country-specific. The age at the start of the school year is calculated based on the start date of the school year which is country-specific.
