Methodology note
How this indicator is built.
The definition, the formula and — above all — what the indicator does not let you claim.
01
Definition
The share of the population aged 15 to 17 enrolled in upper secondary education, as a proportion of the total population in that age group.
02
Formula
(Students aged 15 to 17 enrolled in upper secondary ÷ population aged 15 to 17) × 100.
03
Disaggregations

04
Notes on interpretation
It is the system's most demanding measure of access: it counts only those in the level appropriate to their age. A gross coverage rate will always be higher.
05
Limitations
It depends on the population projection used as the denominator; changing the projection moves the indicator without enrolment having moved at all.
