Bosnia and Herzegovina's primary enrollment rates have demonstrated a mixed performance since 2007. The country initially reached an all-time peak of 108.80% in 2007, only to experience a significant decline to an all-time trough of 88.71% in 2010. Following this downturn, enrollment rates have gradually increased, albeit with minor fluctuations. Currently, the primary enrollment rate stands at 101.78%, placing Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 74th position globally. This value is slightly lower than that of peer countries such as Guatemala, which has a primary enrollment rate of 101.90%. While the country has made progress in improving primary education access, the trajectory is largely steady. A notable shift in the trend could be seen if the government were to implement targeted policies to increase enrollment rates, particularly in rural areas, which have historically faced challenges in accessing education. The trajectory of primary enrollment rates in Bosnia and Herzegovina will likely depend on the government's ability to address these disparities.
