Net enrolment is the share of children of the official age for a level (3–5, 6–13 or 14–18) who are enrolled in it. It needs population figures for the year.
Pupils per teacher divides enrolled pupils by the teachers assigned to classes this year.
Figures come live from school registers in TEMIS and change as schools update them. Net enrolment is the same figure as in the TESP IV indicators.
