Overview
Brazil's primary enrollment stood at 99.17% in 2025, a decline of +4.80pp from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 99.17% by 2025. Brazil ranked 102nd globally.
Brazil's primary enrollment rate has shown a relatively stable trend over the past decade, with a slight decline from its peak in 2014 when it reached 110.32%. The country's latest enrollment rate of 99.17% in 2025 ranks it 102nd globally, falling below peer countries such as Mexico which maintains a rate of 99.33%. This decline marks a significant deviation from the all-time high, suggesting a potential shift in the country's education landscape. The World Bank data indicates that the enrollment rate was at its highest in 2014, but it has since experienced a downward trend, reaching its trough in 2025. A stable economic environment and sustained investment in education could help Brazil regain its position among the top performers in primary enrollment. However, if external factors such as economic downturns or demographic changes impact the country's education system, it may exacerbate the decline and alter the trajectory of Brazil's primary enrollment rate.
