The number of people in selected age groups (regardless of the level of education) taking part in formal or non-formal education or training expressed as a percentage of the population of the same age. |
| Calculations |
(Number of youth aged 15-24 participating in formal and non-formal education and training) / (Total number of youth aged 15-24) * 100 |
| Other information |
Some data on the participation rate of youth and adults aged 25-64 in formal and non‐formal education are available from the SDG 4 Country Profile for Rwanda compiled by UNESCO. |
| Comments and limitations |
The global metadata suggests to provide data for the age groups 15-24 years, 25-54 years, 55-64 years, and 15-64 years. Due to data availability, only the 15-24 years age group is reported here. |
