Other characteristics

The percentage of youth and adults in a given age range participating in formal education provided by the system of schools, colleges, universities and other formal educational institutions that normally constitutes a continuous ‘ladder’ of full-time education for children and young people, generally beginning at the age of 5 to 7 and continuing to up to 20 or 25 years old. There is also a percentage of youth and adults in a given age range participating in non-formal education or training in a given time.

DATA CONCEPTS and CLASSIFICATIONS



Classification used

Formal education and training is defined as education provided by the system of schools, colleges, universities and other formal educational institutions that normally constitutes a continuous ‘ladder’ of full-time education for children and young people, generally beginning at the age of 5 to 7 and continuing to up to 20 or 25 years old. In some countries, the upper parts of this ‘ladder’ are organized programmes of joint part-time employment and part-time participation in the regular school and university system.

Non-formal education and training is defined as any organized and sustained learning activities that do not correspond exactly to the above definition of formal education. Non-formal education may therefore take place both within and outside educational institutions and cater to people of all ages.

Disaggregation

is by age and sex from administrative sources, and by age, sex, location and income from household surveys.

Key statistical concepts

The number of people in selected age groups participating in formal or non-formal education or training is expressed as a percentage of the population of the same age.

PRAGi = EAGi 

PAGi 

Where:

PRAGi = participation rate of the population in age group i in formal and non-formal education and training; 

EAGi = enrolment of the population in age group i in formal and non-formal education and training; 

PAGi = population in age group i; 

i = 15-24, 15 and above, 25-64 etc.

OTHER ASPECTS



Recommended uses

This indicator is used to help the Ministry of Education measure the level of participation of youth and adults in education and training of all types.

Limitations

Formal and non-formal education and training can be offered in a variety of settings including schools and universities, workplace environments and others and can have a variety of durations. Administrative data often capture only provision in formal settings such as schools and universities. Participation rates do not capture the intensity or quality of the provision nor the outcomes of the education and training on offer.
