Enrollment in educational institutions varies considerably across the continent of Asia, as evidenced by data maintained by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).[1] UNESCO's measurement categories for education are used in the context of international development work and are adopted by the World Bank in its EdStats database.[2] The United Nations issues a Human Development Index for each nation, of which the Education Index is a component.
