Gross attendance ratio for tertiary education, urban, second quintile, female (%)

Number of students attending tertiary education at any time during the reference academic year, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the official school-age population corresponding to tertiary education. For the tertiary level, the population used is the 5-year age group starting from the official secondary school graduation age. The GAR can exceed 100% due to the inclusion of over-aged and under-aged students. Reasons include early or late entry, and grade repetition. For tertiary education, the GAR can exceed 100% due to the inclusion of students outside the 5-year age group starting from the official secondary school graduation age. Data are compiled by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and sourced from national census data and household surveys.
