A significant achievement is that there is no gender
disparity in these achievements.

Discrepancies For the year 2003 These data is based on the SLLFS. Primary and Secondary enrolment ratio is
computed separately. But in global sense both education enrolment considered as the official school age population.
The education system ( the one who born after 31st January if he/she is completed year 5 is not eligible to enter school .They are eligible to enroll for the next year .)

Discrepancies For the year 2001 , data based on
the population Census. For the year 2006 and 2007 based
on the surveys. SSMDG and SLLFS There is no discrepancies in
between National and International data.
Even no gender disparity.

RELIABILITY OF THE ESTIMATES
Statistics based on the quarterly labour force data are subject to both sampling and non sampling .There is a chance that the sample estimates may differ from the true population value they represent.
The sampling error varies depend on the particular sample selected and this variability is measured by the standard error of the estimate.
Analysis relating to the SLLFS are generally conducted at the 95 percent level of confidence

IMPROVMENTS Beginning in January 2006 some
improvements were made.
Specially focusing on literacy, Household economic activities and Informal sector employment and under employment.
