Overview
Aruba's primary enrollment stood at 105.72% in 2025, a decline of +2.00pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 105.72% by 2025. Aruba ranked 46th globally.
Aruba’s primary‑school enrollment rate has hovered just above the universal threshold, registering 105.72 % in 2025, which places the island at 46th in the world. The indicator peaked at 119.80 % in 2010 before a gradual decline set in, reaching a trough of 102.62 % in 2022. Over the 23‑year series the country has consistently exceeded the 100 % benchmark, reflecting strong public‑sector investment in compulsory education and the prevalence of repeat enrolments that inflate the gross rate. Compared with peers of similar rank, Grenada reported 105.95 % and Albania 105.62 % in the same year, underscoring a regional pattern of marginally over‑enrolled primary cohorts. The modest rebound from the 2022 low suggests that policy measures aimed at reducing grade repetition and improving early‑grade retention could sustain the upward trajectory, potentially pushing Aruba’s enrollment closer to the 110 % range observed during its 2001 high.
