Of the economies in the World Bank's latest release, Sierra Leone has the highest gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education, total (% of relevant age group) (171.85% in 2018) and Bermuda the lowest (70.75% in 2015). The world figure is 105.12% (2018).
What this measures
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.
Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
