This dataset provides indicators on enrolment rates by age in large regions (TL2). Data definition and source Enrolment rates are defined as the share of individuals of each age group enrolled in all types of schools and education institutions, including public, private and all other institutions that provide organised educational programmes according to the ISCED 2011 classification, regardless of education level enrolled in (share of individuals enrolled over the population of the same age group). Age groups are defined as 3-5, 6-14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39 and >40 year-olds. Data are collected from Eurostat (reg_educ) for EU countries, and through delegates of the OECD Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI) and the OECD Working Party on Education System Indicators (INES). Definition of regions Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3).
