Question

calculate the gross enrollment ratio in percent if the number of the children enrolled in a primary school is 75 and the number of children of primary school age is 50

Answer 1

Gross enrollment ratio is a statistical measure used in the education sector to determine the number of students enrolled in school at several different grades.

It is given by :

GER = Number of students enrolled in that level of education / Population of a group multiplied by 100%

Substituting in the formula :

75/50 = 1.5

1.5 × 100% = 150%

The GER is thus :

150%
