The result is usually referred as "Gross Enrollment Ratio" (Shryock,et al., 1976). This approach could also be considered as an indirect method to assess the potential of presenteducational facilities in Chuuk.For Chuuk State, the age-level relationship was established as follows: for elementary level, enrollment in grades 1to 8 is expected for the population aged 6 to 13 years, and for high school, enrollment in grades 9 to 12 is expectedfor the population aged 14 to 17 years. In 2000, the gross enrollment ratio at elementary and secondary levels wasabout 93 percent and 78 percent, respectively (Table 8.5). According to this analysis, the coverage of the schoolsystem is better for elementary level education than for high school. It can also be seen from the table that while thecoverage of the eligible population at the elementary level of education was about the same for males and females,the coverage for high school level education was higher for females than males. This shows that females tended tostay in school longer to complete a high school level education compared to their male counterparts.Chuuk Branch Statistics Office, Division of Statistics, FSM Department of Economic Affairs 67
