Tertiary enrollment in the Central African Republic has risen from a meagre 0.08 % in 1971, the all‑time trough, to 2.78 % in 2012, placing the country 138th in the world. The modest peak of 2.95 % was recorded in 2011, indicating that the 2012 figure represents a slight decline after the brief apex. Over the 29‑year coverage period, the upward trajectory has been gradual, reflecting limited expansion of higher‑education capacity and persistent fiscal constraints. Compared with regional peers, the Central African Republic lags behind Uganda’s 3.75 % enrollment but exceeds Seychelles’ 1.56 % and Niger’s 1.54 %, suggesting that modest gains are possible within the Central African context. The continued increase will likely depend on sustained public investment, improvements in secondary‑school completion rates, and stability that encourages private‑sector participation in tertiary provision.
