Annual education access indicators for Rwanda compiled from the MINEDUC School Census and published in the Rwanda Statistical Yearbook 2025. Covers Gross Enrollment Rate (GER) and Net Enrollment Rate (NER) for preprimary (age 3-5), primary (age 6-11), and secondary (age 12-17) education by sex (Tables 4.25-4.27); GER for higher education institutions (age 18-22) by sex (Table 4.28); higher education students per 100,000 inhabitants from 2016/17 onward (Table 4.29); and the Gender Parity Index in enrollment across six levels -- preprimary, primary, lower secondary, upper secondary, TVET, and higher education (Table 4.30). GER values can exceed 100% when enrolled students fall outside the official age bracket.
| COLUMN | TYPE | DESCRIPTION | UNIT |
|---|---|---|---|
| academic_year | string | Academic year as published in the source. Calendar years (2017, 2018, 2019) appear in Tables 4.30; slash format (e.g. 2021/22, 2016/17) in Tables 4.25-4.29. | - |
| year | int64 | Start year as integer for charting. Derived from academic_year by taking the first component before '/'. Use academic_year for display labels. | - |
| level | string | Education level. Values: preprimary (Table 4.25, age 3-5), primary (Table 4.26, age 6-11), secondary (Table 4.27, age 12-17), higher_ed (Tables 4.28/4.29). GPI rows (Table 4.30) use: preprimary, primary, lower_secondary, upper_secondary, tvet, higher_ed. | - |
| indicator | string | Metric type. Values: ger (Gross Enrollment Rate, as percentage 0-100), ner (Net Enrollment Rate, as percentage 0-100), students_per_100k (higher ed students per 100,000 inhabitants, integer count), gpi (Gender Parity Index, female/male ratio). | - |
| sex | string | Sex breakdown. Values: total, male, female. Null for indicator=gpi rows, since GPI is itself a female/male ratio with no further breakdown. | - |
| value | float64 | Numeric value for the indicator. GER and NER are on a 0-100 percentage scale (values above 100 indicate over-enrollment relative to official age group). students_per_100k is an absolute count. gpi values are dimensionless ratios (1.0 = parity, >1.0 = more females, <1.0 = more males). | - |
