I wonder how they develop the net school attendance rate on bangladesh report 2011 page 26.
I was able to match other numbers, but not this one.
Here is how I did it.
Use household membership file,
delete those non defacto member using hv103
choose age between 6 -10 for primary school attendance ratio calculation
then use survey weight estimation of v005/10000000
the education variable I used is hv122, school attendance: primary if hv122==1 and secondary if hv122 ==2

The proportion of 6 -10 year age group net attendance ratio for primary school is 78% from
my estimation instead of 74.8!

Please anyone, let me know if you have any idea why this is so.
