The country has made substantial progress, with its all-time peak of 113.81% achieved in 2010. However, primary enrollment rates have slightly declined since then, and as of 2025, the rate stands at 105.48%, ranking 48th globally.

However, demographic changes and shifting economic priorities may impact this trajectory, requiring policymakers to adapt their strategies to meet the evolving needs of Algeria's educational landscape.
