Method & notes
Stage totals show system scale; they are not a direct measure of progression from one stage to the next.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSNational primary, secondary and Form 6 enrolment.
PulseKita uses MOE's national both-sex enrolment totals for primary, secondary and post-secondary government education.
- Post-secondary in this dataset refers to Form 6.
- This is government-school enrolment and does not cover the full private-education sector.
- The three stages differ greatly in duration, so the totals should not be read as transition rates.
