  23.5% meaning the proportion of people among the same age.
  
  Hence, this includes school-dropouts, those still studying at ITEs, polys and those who go overseas etc.

  i feel 23.5% is a resonable percentage. the figures means for every 100 kids that are enrolled into Pri 1, 23.5 will end up studying in one of the 3 govt funded unis.
  
  the rest of % include drop outs, poly finish go work, ITE, O/N/A level holders, went to UniSIM, overseas uni etc.........
