- Completion rate, primary education, urban, maleWorld Bank · EducationThe number of persons in the relevant age group who have completed the last grade of the given level of education is expressed as a percentage of the total population (in the survey sample) of the same age group. The primary completion rate is the percentage of a cohort of children or young people aged 3-5 years above the intended age for the last grade of primary education who have completed that grade. The intended age for the last grade of primary education is the age at which pupils would enter the grade if they had started school at the official primary entrance age, had studied full-time and had progressed without repeating or skipping a grade. For example, if the official age of entry into primary education is 6 years, and if primary education has 6 grades, the intended age for the last grade of primary education is 11 years. In this case, 14-16 years (11 + 3 = 14 and 11 + 5 = 16) would be the reference age group for calculation of the primary completion rate.

- Total net attendance rate, primary, urban, maleWorld Bank · EducationTotal number of students of the official age group for a given level of education who are attending school at any level of education, expressed as a percentage of the corresponding population. Divide the total number of students in the official school age range for the given level of education who are attending school at any level of education by the population of the same age group and multiply the result by 100. The difference between the total NAR and the adjusted NAR provides a measure of the proportion of children in the official relevant school age group who are attending levels of education below the one intended for their age. The difference between the total NAR and the adjusted NAR for primary education is due to attendance of pre-primary education.

- Literacy rate, population 25-64 years, urban, maleWorld Bank · EducationPercentage of the male population in urban areas between age 25 and age 64 who can, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement on their everyday life. Generally, ‘literacy’ also encompasses ‘numeracy’, the ability to make simple arithmetic calculations. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of male literates aged 25-64 years by the corresponding age group population and multiplying the result by 100.
