SOURCES: Education expenditure refers to the current operating expenditures in education, including wages and salaries and excluding capital investments in buildings and equipment.; This entry includes a definition of literacy and Census Bureau percentages for the total population, males, and females. There are no universal definitions and standards of literacy. Unless otherwise specified, all rates are based on the most common definition - the ability to read and write at a specified age. Detailing the standards that individual countries use to assess the ability to read and write is beyond the scope of our source. Information on literacy, while not a perfect measure of educational results, is probably the most easily available and valid for international comparisons. ; Primary duration refers to the number of years of full-time equivalent duration in primary education in the school system according to ISCED.; Primary education pupils is the total number of pupils enrolled at primary level in public and private schools.; Primary education teachers includes full-time and part-time teachers.; Female teachers as a percentage of total primary education teachers includes full-time and part-time teachers.; Primary school pupil-teacher ratio is the number of pupils enrolled in primary school divided by the number of primary school teachers (regardless of their teaching assignment).; Private enrollment refers to pupils or students enrolled in institutions that are not operated by a public authority but controlled and managed, whether for profit or not, by a private body such as a nongovernmental organization, religious body, special interest group, foundation or business enterprise.; Secondary general pupils are the number of secondary students enrolled in general education programs, including teacher training.; Secondary education teachers includes full-time and part-time teachers.; Female teachers as a percentage of total secondary education teachers includes full-time and part-time teachers.
