How the education pathway works
The pathway section follows the age groups in the official survey instead of forcing those figures into unrelated school-level labels.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| School participation ages 5 to 9 | Early and primary years | The national survey shows very high attendance in the youngest school-age group. |
| Participation ages 10 to 14 | Lower school years | Attendance remains high through the 10 to 14 age group. |
| Participation ages 15 to 19 | Later secondary years | Attendance is lower for the older teenage age group measured in the survey. |
| Higher and technical study | Beyond school | Further education continues after the secondary pathway. |

How to read the Paraguay evidence
The attendance percentages use different age groups and should not be added or averaged into one national rate.
The page avoids using the older 2010 tertiary enrolment ratio as a headline when newer national survey evidence is available.
