Note: Net primary enrolment rates in Zimbabwe tend to be 5 to 10% higher at the beginning of the school year than at the end since some pupils drop out during the school year, which starts in January. Where the survey fieldwork lasted several months, the mid-point was taken. The estimate for October 1999 is probably an underestimate; the government estimated net enrolment of 86.8% (MESC, Citation2000). The figure for 2010/11 is the net attendance rate; attendance is always marginally lower than enrolment.
