Pre-Primary Enrollments
How many children are enrolled in pre-primary education?
Around 164 million children were enrolled in pre-primary education in 2010. This is up from 134 million in 2005 and 112 million in 1999.
Over half of enrolled students were in either SAS or EAP (48 and 40 million respectively).
25% of total pre-primary enrollments were in India and 16% were in China.
79 million (48.2%) were girls.

How many children are enrolled?Pre-Primary – Gross Enrolment Rates (GER)
Globally, less than half of pre-primary age students were enrolled in pre-primary education in 2010, but all regions increased pre-primary enrolments between 2000 and 2010.
SAS almost doubled its pre-primary GER between 2000 (25.4%) and 2010 (48.3%).
LAC’s GERs are consistently the highest among regions ranging from 56.8% to 70.1%.
SSA and MNA lag behind other regions with 17.7% and 23.8% GERs respectively in 2010.

Are lower pre-primary enrollment rates related to lower national income per capita?
All the low income countries ($1025 or less) have less than 16% of children enrolled in pre-primary education except Gambia (27%), Kenya (29%), and Tanzania (33%).
24 countries had NERs less than 15%. Only 4 of those had GNI per capita higher than $1100. All the countries were lower than $4780 (Bosnia).
All of the countries with NERs higher than 90% had GNI greater than $12,000 except Thailand, Grenada, and Maldives.
All low income countries had less than one-third of children enrolled in pre-primary education.

Do gender disparities exist in pre-primary enrollment rates?
Gender parity indices (GPIs) are calculated by dividing the female value for an indicator by the male value, so perfect gender parity equals 1. A value below 1 indicates a bias toward males. A value above 1 indicates a bias toward females.
Globally, the GPI has been increasing from .98 in 2000 to perfect gender parity (1.0) in 2010.
Most regions are very close to gender parity (+/- 0.02) in 2010. Only MNA lags behind.
4 of 6 regions have a slight female bias.
Gender parity in pre-primary enrolments (1.0) has been achieved globally and in most regions.

Pupil-Teacher Ratios
Which regions have higher pre-primary pupil-teacher ratios? Globally, pre-primary
pupil-teacher ratios (PTRs) have remained steady since 1999 at around 20 pupils per teacher.
ECA has the fewest students per teacher: PTRs ranged from 8 to 10 students over time.
South Asia had the highest PTRs as of 2007 at 40 students per teacher. The next closest region was SSA at around 27 students per teacher in 2011.
South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa have higher pre-primary pupil-teacher ratios.

This presentation utilizes the following data sources:
1) UNESCO Institute for Statistics data in the EdStats Query The presentation was created with the most recent UIS data
release that included 2009 data for most indicators and 2010 data for some countries.
Indicators were calculated by UIS according to definitions available in the EdStats Query.
2) Demographic and Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys in the World Inequality Database on Education (WIDE)
