About this data
Total enrollment in early childhood educational development programmes, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the total population of the official age for early childhood educational development programmes. GER can exceed 100% due to the inclusion of over-aged and under-aged students because of early or late school entrance and grade repetition.
