Overview
Chad's primary enrollment stood at 90.11% in 2025, a rise of +1.64pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 90.11% by 2025. Chad ranked 150th globally.
Chad’s primary school enrollment has risen dramatically since the early 1970s, moving from a low of 30.70 % in 1973 to a peak of 98.32 % in 2014, before settling at 90.11 % in 2025, which places the country at 150th in the world. The 47‑year series shows a sustained upward trajectory, reflecting expanded public investment in education and the implementation of universal primary schooling policies during the 1990s and 2000s. While the 2025 figure remains slightly below the enrollment rates of peer countries such as Tanzania (90.80 %) and Belize (90.75 %), it exceeds the level recorded by El Salvador (90.00 %). The modest decline from the 2014 peak suggests that maintaining high coverage will depend on addressing regional disparities, improving school infrastructure, and ensuring adequate teacher recruitment. Continued focus on these areas could stabilize the current level and potentially push Chad back toward its historic high.
