How the education pathway works
The stage map mirrors the primary, lower-secondary, upper-secondary and tertiary levels used in the source.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Primary education | Primary | Primary education is the first main school level. |
| Lower-secondary education | Lower secondary | Lower secondary follows primary schooling. |
| Upper-secondary education | Upper secondary | Upper secondary follows the lower-secondary stage. |
| Higher education | Tertiary | Tertiary education follows secondary or equivalent study. |
Key evidence

How to read the Turkmenistan evidence
The tertiary ratio uses a different official-age denominator from the school-level ratios even though all are percentages.
The page avoids mixing older mean-years or finance data into a cleaner 2024 enrolment snapshot.
