Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Maybe I am misinterpreting what you mean by a percentage, but I am thinking that what you mean is the percentage of eligible children/people who are actually attending. If that's what you mean, then it is definitely possible for the number who are in school to be small and the percentage to be large, or for the number to be large and the percentage to be small. The ranking by number and the ranking by percentage can be very different. Weighting has nothing to do with this.
If someone age 12-17 is in primary school rather than secondary school, they could have started primary school late, or not have passed from one grade to the next. There could be a classification error. I looked at age in more detail with "tab hv105 hv122 if hv105<25". The correspondence between age and current level of school is not what I would expect but I can't explain why primary school seems to cover such a wide range of ages.
