Net Intake Rate
Contents |
Definition
The Net Intake Rate (NIR) is defined by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics as:
"New entrants in the first grade of primary education who are of the official primary school-entrance age, expressed as a percentage of the population of the same age."
NIR is disaggregated by gender and by region and rural/urban. It is found by dividing the number of children of official primary school-entrance age who enter the first grade of primary education, by the population of the same age, and multiplying the result by 100. [1]
Purpose
The purpose of this statistical indicator is to measure the level of access to primary education as a percentage of children of the eligible age.
This is a very important indicator in measuring rates of Access to Education, when considering gender inequality issues, as well as regional or rural/urban inequalities. [1] It is of particular interest to the measure of civil liberties of women/girls in a given country or region.
