In plain words
92.2% net
What it is. Net enrolment counts only children of official primary school age who are enrolled in primary school, divided by the number of children in that age group. Pupils who are older or younger than the official age sit outside the numerator, so late starters and children who repeat years pull the ratio down. It records who is registered at school. Attendance and learning outcomes sit outside it.
Higher is better. A higher share means more children of the right age are in the classroom at the start of their education, so higher is better for this measure. The latest figure is 92.2% net for 2018, up 0.18 percentage points from 92% net a year earlier. Since 2002 the lowest reading is 92% net in 2017, so the latest figure sits just above the bottom of its range. The highest reading is 95.5% net in 2005, which leaves 2018 below that peak.
Why it matters. In Seychelles, most children of primary age are in primary school, and the ratio has stayed near the bottom of its range since 2002. For households, that means a small share of primary-age children are not in primary classes at the expected age. For the state, the gap from the 2005 level of 95.5% net is a measure of how many more places and teachers a full return to that level would involve.
