Method & notes
This story shows who is enrolled, not who performs better academically.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSFemale share of primary and secondary government-school enrolment.
PulseKita sums female primary and secondary enrolment and divides it by the corresponding both-sex total for each state and year.
- This describes enrolment composition, not achievement or access quality.
- Form 6 is excluded to keep the comparison aligned with the primary-and-secondary school system.
- Small differences around 50% should not be over-interpreted.
