Lower secondary education completion rate among female and male students in the Asia-Pacific region in 2022, by country or territory
* 2021 values ** 2020 values Figures have been rounded.
On its methodology and values exceeding 100 percent, the World Bank states the following:
"Lower secondary education completion rate is measured as the gross intake ratio to the last grade of lower secondary education (general and pre-vocational). It is calculated as the number of new entrants in the last grade of lower secondary education, regardless of age, divided by the population at the entrance age for the last grade of lower secondary education. (...)
There are many reasons why the rate can exceed 100 percent. The numerator may include late entrants and overage children who have repeated one or more grades of lower secondary education as well as children who entered school early, while the denominator is the number of children at the entrance age for the last grade of lower secondary education."
