Based on cross-sectional databy province, the analysis is done from three aspects: the correlationbetween enrollment rates and the level of the economic development, thecorrelation between changes in enrollment rates and GDP, and thecorrelation between enrollment rates and the patterns of economicdevelopment.
The analyses demonstrate two facts. First, the enrollment rate isnot significantly correlated with the level of per capita GDP, showingthat there are significant variations in the relationship between economicgrowth and the expansion of enrollment.
