Argentina's secondary enrollment rate has shown a steady increase over the past five decades, with a notable surge in recent years. By 2021, the country reached its all-time peak of 115.74% of the relevant age group, surpassing the global average. However, a slight decline in 2025 brought the rate to 108.46%, ranking Argentina 28th globally. This development is comparable to its peer countries, such as Estonia, where the secondary enrollment rate remains slightly higher at 108.70%. The 1970s marked the low point for Argentina's secondary enrollment, at 44.43%, a situation that has since improved significantly. The country's progress in this area is a testament to its efforts in expanding access to education. Nevertheless, Argentina's secondary enrollment rate may face challenges in the future, particularly if the country experiences economic instability or a decline in government investment in education, potentially altering the trajectory of this trend.
