If the result is greater than 1, it is inverted and subtracted from 2. This adjustment produces a value between 0 and 2 that is symmetrical around 1.","A GPIA value of 1 indicates perfect parity. A value below 1 shows a gap in favour of boys, while a value above 1 shows a gap in favour of girls.","This indicator is useful for identifying gender-based disparities in lower secondary school enrolment and for tracking progress toward equitable access to post-primary education.","The data comes from administrative records reporting enrolment by age and sex, along with population estimates for children in the official lower secondary school age range.","It should be interpreted alongside related indicators — such as attendance, progression, and completion rates — to build a clearer picture of gender equity in education beyond access alone.","Like all indicators derived from enrolment and population estimates, data inconsistencies or timing issues, such as early or delayed school entry, may affect the accuracy of age-specific enrolment figures.","Despite these limitations, the GPIA for net enrolment in lower secondary education remains a powerful tool for assessing gender equity and informing inclusive education policy."],"dimensions":{"years":{"values":[{"id":1974},{"id":2017},{"id":2019},{"id":2020},{"id":2023},{"id":1984},{"id":1995},{"id":1996},{"id":1997},{"id":2024},{"id":2014},{"id":2015},{"id":2016},{"id":2018},{"id":2021},{"id":2022},{"id":1982},{"id":2008},{"id":2009},{"id":2010},{"id":1999},{"id":1975},{"id":1998},{"id":2011},{"id":2000},{"id":2001},{"id":2002},{"id":2003},{"id":2005},{"id":1993},{"id":1994},{"id":2004},{"id":2006},{"id":2007},{"id":2012},{"id":2013},{"id":1977},{"id":1978},{"id":1979},{"id":1983},{"id":1985},{"id":1986},{"id":1987},{"id":1989},{"id":1971},{"id":1972},{"id":1973},{"id":1976},{"id":1980},{"id":1981},{"id":1990},{"id":1991},{"id":1992},{"id":1970},{"id":1988}]},"entities":{"values":[{"id":15,"name":"Afghanistan","code":"AFG"},{"id":16,"name":"Albania","code":"ALB"},{"id":17,"name":"Algeria","code":"DZA"},{"id":18,"name":"Andorra","code":"AND"},{"id":19,"name":"Angola","code":"AGO"},{"id":228,"name":"Anguilla","code":"AIA"},{"id":21,"name":"Argentina","code":"ARG"},{"id":22,"name":"Armenia","code":"ARM"},{"id":219,"name":"Aruba","code":"ABW"},{"id":23,"name":"Australia","code":"AUS"},{"id":24,"name":"Austria","code":"AUT"},{"id":25,"name":"Azerbaijan","code":"AZE"},{"id":26,"name":"Bahamas","code":"BHS"},{"id":27,"name":"Bahrain","code":"BHR"},{"id":28,"name":"Bangladesh","code":"BGD"},{"id":29,"name":"Barbados","code":"BRB"},{"id":30,"name":"Belarus","code":"BLR"},{"id":4,"name":"Belgium","code":"BEL"},{"id":31,"name":"Belize","code":"BLZ"},{"id":32,"name":"Benin","code":"BEN"},{"id":194,"name":"Bermuda","code":"BMU"},{"id":33,"name":"Bhutan","code":"BTN"},{"id":34,"name":"Bolivia","code":"BOL"},{"id":35,"name":"Bosnia
