How this figure is calculated

Secondary education, pupils divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Secondary education, pupils ÷ Land area (sq. km)

Computed from

  • Secondary education, pupils Data API, UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
  • Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
