Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
The number of students in the 14–15 age group enrolled in school as a percentage of all students in that age group is known as the net attendance ratio. This is useful for estimating the proportion of people in the same age group who have a degree. This attendance rate is necessary to understand the nation's educational situation. The population of the age group that officially corresponds to the given education degree is divided by the number of students attending that level regardless of age. The result is multiplied by 100.
Hence the correct statement would be, Net Attendance Ratio is the total number of children in the age group 14 and 15 years attending school as a percentage of the total number of children in the same age group.
