Technical notes:
Table
4.B presents selected statistics on third levels of education
and women teachers at the second and third levels. Indicators
on enrolment have been prepared mainly from statistics published
by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) in its Statistical Yearbook. UNESCO
compiles enrolment statistics from data provided by national
Governments in response to UNESCO questionnaires.
Enrolment
data are also included in Women's Indicators and Statistics
Database (Wistat). ISCED classifies education at the third
level as that provided at university, teachers' college or
higher professional school, and requires as a minimum condition
of admission the successful completion of education at the
second level.
Data on third-level students
refer to the number of students enrolled in the third level
of education per 1,000 population. The ratios have been calculated
using the enrolment data provided by national Governments
and the population figures provided by the Population Division
of the United Nations.
The data on women teachers
at the second and third levels of education are taken from
the UNESCO Statistical institutions, and as far as possible
include both full-time and part-time teachers. They include,
in principle, auxiliary teachers (assistants, demonstrators
etc.) but exclude staff with no teaching duties (guidance
personnel, librarians, administrators, laboratory technicians
etc.).
