New UIS data on educational attainment and mean years of schooling

Image
How do the world's countries compare in terms of the population's educational attainment? This question can be answered with new data by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), released in February 2016 . The UIS Data Centre lists data for three indicators: Highest completed level of education of the population 25 years and older ( table in UIS Data Centre ) Minimum completed level of education of the population 25 years and older ( table in UIS Data Centre ) Mean years of education of the population 25 years and older ( table in UIS Data Centre ) All three indicators are available for the total, male and female population. The first two indicators are presented for the levels of education defined in the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED): Primary education (ISCED 1) Lower secondary education (ISCED 2) Upper secondary education (ISCED 3) Post-secondary non-tertiary education (ISCED 4) Short-cycle tertiary education (ISCED 5) Bachelor's degre...

Mean years of schooling in Nepal

Image
On 25 April 2015, Nepal was struck by a severe earthquake that killed more than 8,800 people. Nepal is one of the world's poorest countries, with a gross national income (GNI) per capita of US$730 in 2013, similar to Afghanistan and Burkina Faso. Of 187 countries on the Human Development Index (HDI) 2014, Nepal was at position 145. The rank of Nepal on the HDI is partly determined by the low level of education of its population. According to the Human Development Report 2014 , the population 25 years and older of Nepal had on average 3.2 years of schooling in 2012. This article takes a closer look at the level of education of the population of Nepal, based on an analysis of data from a 2011 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). The DHS collected information on the highest grade of school completed for all household members 3 years and older, which can be used to calculate the years of schooling of individuals and the average years of schooling of the entire population or spec...

More children are out of school in poor countries

Image
The rate and number of out-of-school children are strongly correlated with national income: in poorer countries, more children are out of school than in wealthier countries. The World Bank classifies all countries according to their gross national income (GNI) per capita ( World Bank, 2017 ). The map in Figure 1 shows the distribution of countries by income level according to the July 2016 classification. Low-income countries with the lowest per-capita income are concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa. Figure 1 Data source: UNESCO Institute for Statistics Figure 2 shows that the out-of-school rate decreases with increasing national income. Low-income countries have, on average, the highest out-of-school rates, according to estimates by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics . 19% of all children of primary school age (about 6 to 11 years) are out of school in low-income countries, compared to only 3% in high-income countries. Among adolescents of lower secondary school age (about 12 to 14...
