As of 2025, the country's secondary enrollment rate stands at 107.53%, surpassing the 2012 trough of 94.32% and demonstrating a significant improvement in access to secondary education. This growth rate is comparable to that of peer countries, such as Lithuania, which boasts a slightly higher enrollment rate of 107.76%. The all-time peak and trough occurred in the same year, 2012 and 2025, respectively, indicating a sustained and consistent expansion of secondary education.

However, the trajectory of secondary enrollment will likely be impacted by future government policies and investment in education infrastructure, which could either sustain or disrupt this upward trend.
