The Central African Republic's secondary enrollment rate has shown a modest improvement since 1971, with a significant increase in recent years. The all-time peak of 15.92% in 2011 and the latest value of 15.81% in 2017 indicate a stable trend, albeit still ranking 140th globally. Compared to its peer countries, the Central African Republic lags significantly behind, with Chad's secondary enrollment rate standing at 20.59% and Niger's at 23.76%. The country's slow progress in this area is a challenge that persists despite some improvement. The 1971 trough of 3.51% highlights the substantial gap that needs to be bridged to achieve parity with other nations. To alter this trajectory, a sustained investment in education infrastructure, teacher training, and inclusive policies would be necessary, potentially leading to a more significant increase in secondary enrollment rates in the coming years.
