Defining GER
Gross enrollment rate is the total enrollment
in primary school, regardless of age, in a given
year, expressed as a percentage of the official
school-age population for primary school.
The purpose of the gross enrollment rate is
that it shows the general level of participation
in formal schooling by the childhoodpopulation.

Why the use of Young Population
and Population Enrollment?
GER shows the overall coverage of an
educational system in relation to the
population eligible for participation
in the system.

How to calculate GER
EX: a nation has 900,000 people enrolled in
school(2005/2006) and is divided by:
Total young population of the nation is
1,000,000
90% of the people are enrolled90% is the
GER of that nation

A combined gross enrollment ratio (CGER),incorporating all three levels of education, isused to calculate the Human Development
Index (HDI), an annual gauge of well-being for UN member states. Amongst othermeasures used in the calculation, the CGER isgiven one-third weight in assessing
the knowledge component, represented bygross enrollment, while the adult literacy rateis assigned two-thirds weight.

Where did the inspiration come from?
The data concerning the actual numbers and
statistics regarding the Gross Enrollment Ratio
in European Countries(a.k.a. The Bulk Data)
including Romania came from The National
Center for Education Statisticswebsite in
which I have came across with multiple tables
containing tremendous data that could bedownloaded in an Excel format.

Using the Data Analysis Tool from Excel
Central Tendency - the value of the median
indicates that 50% of the GER values are
above 105. This indicates that more than a
half of the European countries are
theoretically able of accommodating its
school-aged population.(A gross enrollment
rate of 100 percent a country is capable toaccommodate all of its school-aged
population).

Variability MeasuresThe range is the difference
between the highest and the
lowest score and in my case that
is 31.1
The coefficient of variation = 0.07

Covariance and Coefficient of
correlation
Covariance= 6049.333
Covariance value is positive (x) and (y) tend
to move in the same direction
Coefficient of Correlation= 0.529017
Interpretation: (Developed) countries with
high primary school enrollment population
also tend to have a high Gross Enrollment
Ration
