In a recent report, the gross enrolment ratios at the primary level, that is, the number of children enrolled in classes one to five as a proportion of all children aged 6 to 10, were shown to be very high for most states; in many cases they were way above 100 percent. These figures are not worth anything, since they are based on the official enrollment data compiled from school records. They might as well stand for ‘gross exaggeration ratios’.
Which of the following options best supports the claim that the ratios are exaggerated?
