Rural is defined as the proportion of rural out-of-school children who are currently out of school but are expected to enter the education system later than they should. It is calculated based on UNESCO's methodology as the proportion leftover from those estimated as never in school, expressed as a percent of the proportion out-of-school for children younger than the age with the highest attendance rate.

IndicatorName: MICS: Typology of out-of-school children. Primary. Never in school

Longdefinition: Typology of out-of-school children. Primary. Never in school is the percentage of out-of-school primary-school-age children who have never attended school and are not likely to enter school in the future. Since no survey can say definitively that a school-age person will never attend school, this is a probabilistic indicator. The indicator is based on UNESCO’s methodology, which estimates the proportion of children who will never attend school as the proportion of out of school for the age group with the lowest proportion of out-of-school children. This methodology assumes no dropout before the age at which enrolment rates peak, and no late entry after the age with peak enrolment.
