Overview
Antigua and Barbuda's secondary enrollment stood at 105.83% in 2025, a decline of +3.05pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 105.83% by 2025. Antigua and Barbuda ranked 37th globally.
Antigua and Barbuda’s secondary‑school enrollment rate has risen markedly since the early 1970s, climbing from a low of 54.33 % in 1973 to a historic peak of 122.26 % in 2008, before settling at 105.83 % in 2025, which places the nation 37th worldwide. The long‑term upward trajectory reflects sustained investment in education and the expansion of public schooling, yet the post‑peak decline suggests that the earlier surge may have been driven by temporary policy incentives or demographic shifts that have since moderated. Compared with peers of similar rank, Albania records a slightly higher enrollment of 106.08 % and Croatia 105.35 %, while the European Union averages 106.52 %, indicating that Antigua and Barbuda remains competitive within this group. Continued improvements will likely depend on maintaining high retention rates, expanding vocational pathways, and addressing any emerging disparities that could curb further gains in secondary participation.
