About This Statistic
Over-age students are the percentage of those enrolled who are older than the official school-age range for primary education.
MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2018 World Bank slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
