The gross enrolment ratio (GER) or gross enrolment index (GEI) is a statistical measure used in the education sector and by the UN in its Education Index. The GER gives a rough indication of the level of education from kindergarten to postgraduate education – known in the UK and some other countries (mostly in the Commonwealth of Nations) as primary, secondary, and/or tertiary – amongst residents in a given jurisdiction.
In the UN, the GER is calculated by expressing the number of students enrolled in primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education, regardless of age, as a percentage of the population of official school age for the three levels.
Example
Locale A has 950,000 pupils enrolled in education in the academic year 2005/06.
Locale A has 1,000,000 pupils of school age.
GER = number of actual students enrolled / number of potential students enrolled
= (950,000 / 1,000,000) = 0.95
= 0.95*100=95%
