The 2014 Population and Housing Census revealed that there was 3.18 million people in the 20-24 age cohort (the relevant age cohort for participating in higher education), an average of 638,000 people for each single year in that age cohort (table 1).
These data imply that, of the total population in the age cohorts relevant for participating in higher education, 9.4 percent attend university and 13 percent attend a university or some other type of higher educational institution (table 1).
