Gender Parity Index: Gender Parity Index in enrolment at primary, secondary and tertiary levels is the ratio of the number of female students enrolled at primary, secondary and tertiary levels in public and private schools to the number of male students. To standardise the effects of the population structure of the appropriate age - groups, the GPI of the GER for each level of education is used, i.e. GPI (GER) = GER (Female)/GER (Male). A GPI of 1 indicates parity between the sexes or no gender disparity. A GPI that varies between 0 and1 typically means a disparity in favour of males whereas a GPI greater than 1 indicates a disparity in favour of females.
