Difference between gross enrollment rate and net enrollment rate
The difference between the gross enrollment rate and the net enrollment rate is:

1, Gross Enrolment Rate When calculating the number of students in molecular higher education in the formula, the age of students is not considered (refers to the ratio of the number of students at a certain education level to the total population meeting the age stipulated by the government).

2. The net enrollment rate means that the age of students should be considered when calculating the number of students in molecular higher education in the formula, that is, only the number of students in the same age group as the denominator (18-22 years old) is included, and students younger than 18 or older than 22 years old are not included.

The enrollment rate refers to the proportion of school-age students enrolled in the country. The calculation formula is: the enrollment rate at a certain level = the number of students at a certain education level/the total number of corresponding school-age population in the country × 100%, which is an important indicator to measure the educational development level of a country.

Gross enrollment rate refers to the percentage of the total number of students (regardless of age) at a certain education level to the population of the age group specified by the country at that education level. The gross enrollment rate may exceed 100% due to the inclusion of students in the informal age group (young or over-aged).

The net enrollment rate, also known as the enrollment rate of school-age population, refers to the proportion of school-age students to the total school-age population. Considering the age of the students in school, only the number of students of the same age as the denominator is calculated.

Extended data

As of 20 14, according to the data released by the world bank, the global preschool education enrollment rate is 44%; Primary school enrollment rate105.7%; The secondary school enrollment rate is 75%; The enrollment rate of universities is 34.5%. Because the gross enrollment rate is counted, the primary school enrollment rate will exceed 100%. Because there is no data on net enrollment rate, the gross enrollment rate is used to compare the enrollment situation of various countries for the time being.

Since 1990, education in China has developed rapidly. At present, the enrollment rate of preschool education has reached 8 1.6%. The primary school enrollment rate has reached108%; The secondary school enrollment rate reached 96.2%; The university enrollment rate reached 39.4%. Judging from the data indicators, it has exceeded the world average. In particular, the university enrollment rate rose from 3.8% in 1990 to 39.4%, far exceeding the world average development speed.

Compared with major countries in the world, China's secondary school enrollment rate is close to that of major developed countries in the world.

It can be seen from the article "Education Level of Major Countries in the World" that compared with major high-income countries in the world, there is a big gap in the proportion of people with high school education and university education. However, the data of the enrollment rate of colleges and universities in 20 14 years shows that there is still a big gap in the enrollment rate of higher education.

The enrollment rate of universities in the United States, Canada and South Korea is close to 100%, and the enrollment rate of universities in France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Argentina and Russia is over 60%. That is to say, among the population born in 1996, the gap between us and the United States, Canada and South Korea is over 50, and the gap between us and other high-income countries is over 20.

Although the training speed of higher education talents in China has increased rapidly, there is still a big gap between China and the major industrial countries in the world, and it is difficult to reach the population quality level of these countries within 30-50 years. This is the reality that we must face.

Comparing the data of South Korea and India, we can find that the enrollment rate of higher education in South Korea has surpassed Japan to become the highest among major Asian countries. The sustained and high-speed development of Korean economy depends on high-quality talents, which can be fully guaranteed. In addition to the fact that the enrollment rate of primary education in India is lower than the world average, the enrollment rate of higher education is less than 25%, which will be a very important factor hindering India's economic development.

Judging from the sex ratio of the educated population in major countries in the world, before the secondary education stage, the enrollment rate of men and women basically reached a balance, while in the higher education stage, the proportion of women in high-income countries was higher than that of men.

As the main undertaker of domestic labor, women play a very important role in children's education. The higher the education level of women, the higher the positive guidance for children's education, which is conducive to the improvement of population quality. However, as the proportion of women receiving higher education has surpassed that of men, the phenomenon of older women and single mothers will become more and more prominent in high-income countries.
