EdPriEnrollNetTotalPcnt

This series came from a Human Development Report and only has a single year of data, 1999. This series is out dated and needs updated from another source that has data broken down by sex.

There are other sources available for instance, the China Statistical Yearbooks have enrollment data available, but the enrollments are in total headcounts not in rates. To calculate the enrollment rates single year age-sex cohorts are needed. This cohort data is not available from an official source, but IFs may be able to generate estimates of single-year age-sex cohorts. The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China also has enrollment data available from 2010-2015. This data has both the headcounts and the net rates.
