What can this source tell us—and what can it not?

These are UNESCO UIS national series for Syria, both sexes, not governorate-level measurements. Some values are reported by national authorities and some are UIS estimates, and coverage varies sharply by year—out-of-school rates run to recent years while some spending and completion figures predate the war. Sanad keeps the national total for each year.
