Mauritania's gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education, female (% of relevant age group) was 106.28% in 2018, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is down 9.17 percentage points from 115.45% in 2008.
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 106.28% | 2018 |
| Five years earlier | 110.36% | 2013 |
| Ten years earlier | 115.45% | 2008 |
| Highest | 130.35% | 2015 |
| Lowest | 20.55% | 1976 |
| Average since 2009 | 111.5% | 2009–2018 |
| First recorded | 20.55% | 1976 |
Over five years it is down 4.08 percentage points from 110.36% in 2013. Since 1976 it is up 85.73 percentage points from 20.55% in 1976. The World Bank has no value for 5 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2018, Mauritania's gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education, female (% of relevant age group) fell 0.48 percentage points on 2017 (from 106.76% to 106.28%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1986 to 2017), the average change was +2.37 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 7.94 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 17.56 percentage points in 2002 and the biggest yearly fall was 21.17 percentage points in 2016. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2009 to 2018 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 2% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2018, Mauritania had the 28th highest value of the 79 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education is the number of new entrants in the first grade of primary education regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the population of the official primary entrance age.
Limitations: The quality of data is affected when new entrants and repeaters are not correctly distinguished in the first grade of primary education. Caution is also needed for countries with a total population under 100,000 since the United Nations Population Division neither publish nor endorse single-age data for those countries. The data are highly subject to fluctuations in migration and other factors.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
