NB! The values in brackets ( ) show the Standard Error for each Average calculated by Accessibility class. Classes were divided to have similar proportion of samples per class. Accessibility surface was developed for Mali and Burkina Faso only. No data was collected in the DHS for the School Enrolment variable for these 2 countries.
