Of the economies in the World Bank's latest release, Iceland has the highest net intake rate in grade 1, male (% of official school-age population) (98.63% in 2015) and Mali the lowest (23.38% in 2017). The world figure is 70.31% (2018).
What this measures
Net intake rate in grade 1 is the number of new entrants in the first grade of primary education who are of official primary school entrance age, expressed as a percentage of the population of the corresponding 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.
