What this measures
Private enrollment refers to pupils or students enrolled in institutions that are not operated by a public authority but controlled and managed, whether for profit or not, by a private body such as a nongovernmental organization, religious body, special interest group, foundation or business enterprise.
Limitations: Religious or private schools, which are not registered with the government or don't follow the common national curriculum, may not be captured.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
