In response, we have expanded our extract and standardized existing series. The delta between our prior extract and the current includes new concepts and geos. The series are annual and start as early as 1976. There are 3,620 concepts across 241 geographies; not all concept-geo pairs exist.
Units vary widely and include the following. Some of the indicators are specialized measures that do not fit our common standards; others should fit our standards, but are insufficiently described by the source.
- count (#)
- percent (%)
- ratio n.o.s. (Ratio)
- nominal U.S. dollars (USD)
- current international U.S. dollars (Intl. USD)
- constant-price data converted using PPP but with unspecified reference year (Cons. PPP USD)
- years (yr.)
- score n.o.s. (Score)
- enumerated list, e.g., "[1=Latent; 2=Emerging; 3=Established; 4=Advanced], (1 to 4)"
We have embedded the source's identifier in our concept code, sans separators. For example, SE.PRE.ENRR is WBKEDUSEPREENRRUA. The structure is as follows. For existing series that we have replaced, we have not preserved the prior mnemonic as an alias; instead, consult the "Replaced" sheet in the attachment.
WBK EDU (source identifier) UA
The series reside in the historical catalog (Cross-Country Datasets » World Bank » Education Statistics) and include, for example, the following. A full list of concepts is attached.
- WBKEDUPRJPOP2529NEDMFUA.ISWZ = Wittgenstein projection - Population ages 25 to 29 in thousands by highest level of educational attainment - No Education - Both sexes, (#) - for Swaziland
- WBKEDUUISTEP6UA.IDOM = Percentage of all students in tertiary education enrolled in ISCED 6 - Both sexes, (%) - for Dominican REpublic
- WBKEDUBARSCHL3034FEUA.ILAO = Barro-Lee - Average years of total schooling - Ages 30 to 34 - Female, (yr.) - for Laos
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
