Checking boxes using Xpath w/ Selenium - selenium

Question

I am creating a .py script to automate queries to the World Bank data repository using Selenium.
The script will check boxes from the "Countries", "Series", and "Time" menus. I don't have problems selecting arrays of countries.
country_codes = ['AUT', 'BRA', etc.]
for country in country_codes:
country_xpath = '//*[#id="chk[Stat_Ctry_Ext].[List].&[' + str(country) + ']"]'
driver.find_element_by_xpath(country_xpath).click()
However, selecting series raises a NoSuchElementException error.
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="chk[STATS_Series_Ext].[Topic].&[UIS.NERA.2.M]"]')

Please try the below code and let me know if you face any issue -
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
action = ActionChains(driver)
driver.get('https://databank.worldbank.org/source/education-statistics')
time.sleep(5)
country_codes = ['AFG', 'AUT', 'BRA']
for country in country_codes:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="chk[Stat_Ctry_Ext].[List].&[' + country + ']"]').click()
# Click on the series tab
driver.find_element_by_xpath('(//a[contains(#title,"Series")])[1]').click()
Series_UIS_NERA_2_M = wait.until(
EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="chk[STATS_Series_Ext].[Topic].&[UIS.NERA.2.M]"]')))
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="chk[STATS_Series_Ext].[Topic].&[UIS.NERA.2.M]"]').click()
