Enrolment Rate

These schools have an average enrolment rate of 2,500 pupils.

The highest enrolment rate is in pre primary education and vocational education has the highest drop out rate (Figure 30).

Gross and net enrolment rate in the educational institutions (in per cent)a b

Within a decade, the primary school enrolment rate had more than doubled to 70 per cent.

The gross enrolment rate for middle level was 68 while that for rural females was 21.

The adult literacy rate was 68 per cent and primary school enrolment was 90 per cent.

During the 2003 2004 school year, the net primary enrolment rate was 94.4 per cent, while the completion rate rose to 99.82 per cent.

In secondary education, the enrolment rate for girls is slightly higher than the rate for boys, but access for both groups is very limited.

In Kuwait, there was a high literacy and school enrolment rate for girls and women, who represented more than 50 per cent of primary and secondary school enrolment, and more than 37 per cent of enrolment at the university level.

During the reporting period, the total enrolment rate (rural and urban) for women overtook the rate for men, with an average difference of 1,200 enrolments per year.

Even given the paucity of resources, the gross enrolment rate in primary education in 2004 was 97 per cent.

In fact, the school enrolment rate is 20.63 per cent for girls and 36.21 per cent for boys. The female illiteracy rate is a staggering 92 per cent.

The gross enrolment rate at the primary level of urban females was 87 while that of rural females was 52.

The percentage of indigenous children enrolled in primary school is 11.3, while the national enrolment rate is 85 per cent.

ENROLMENT

The evaluation found that enrolment rates for women during the period of the strategy increased at a faster rate than for men.

Enrolment 96,981

Enrolment 1,325

The enrolment rate for girls at all levels of education has generally risen in the period 2001 2004, with no significant differences between regions.

Those programmes had helped increase enrolment figures and achieve a literacy rate of 92.5 per cent for boys and 87.9 per cent for girls.

Despite the significant results achieved under PIP, the capacity of the Agency s education system was not expanding at a rate commensurate with enrolment growth.

122. Primary school enrolment was characterized by an under representation of girls who constituted 44.3 per cent of all pupils, with differences among the provinces. While the enrolment of girls is relatively high in urban areas, it is low in rural and minority areas. The Government needs to develop strategies to ensure the enrolment of girls in grade one. The enrolment rate in lower secondary schools was 29 per cent.

Total enrolment 98,306

The Committee expresses its concern about the low rate of enrolment of girls in schools, preference for the education of boys and the high dropout rate of girls due to pregnancy and early and forced marriage.

Somalia has the sixth highest infant mortality rate in the world and enrolment for school age children is just 22 per cent, according to UNICEF representatives.

In 1994, the net national enrolment rate in the basic cycle was 20.59 per cent (21.44 per cent for boys and 19.73 per cent for girls).

The rate was highest in the Gaza Strip (48.1 pupils), which continued to experience large increases in enrolment, and lowest in the West Bank (37.6 pupils).

Although men outnumber women in the capital city, the female enrolment rate is higher than the rate for males in the rest of the country, where the ratio rose from 0.81 in 2000 to 1.03 in 2005.

(b) School enrolment rates

Enrolment in secondary schools is made on the basis of an open competition and enrolment a qualification exam in June and an additional August enrolment term.

The goal was to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, increase the enrolment of girls at all educational levels and decrease the high dropout rate for girls.

143. The rate of enrolment among children between the ages of 6 and 11 declined from 70 per cent in 1985 to 55 per cent in 1995.

Evidence from the country's three most deprived regions shows that the enrolment rate of girls is increasing at a faster rate than that of boys, suggesting that progress is being made towards the achievement of gender parity in education.

The Government established a vocational training course for unemployed young people and also a girls' enrolment project, which aims to raise the enrolment rate of girls, reduce the repeat and drop out rates and raise the number of women teachers in the first stage of basic education.

Depending on the teaching method, the education system consists of two modalities enrolment and non enrolment.

The Committee noted the information provided by the Government regarding girl's partial or total exemption from school fees and the programmes to increase the enrolment rate of girls.

In terms of the net enrolment rate in the first year of primary, the gap was 18.8 points in 1975 76 but only 2.2 points in 1994 95.

Current enrolment stands at 437.
