Overview
Dominica's secondary enrollment stood at 102.51% in 2025, a decline of +0.07pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 102.51% by 2025. Dominica ranked 51st globally.
Dominica’s secondary enrollment rate has risen markedly from 71.87 % in 1973 to 102.51 % in 2025, placing the island nation 51st globally. The upward trajectory accelerated after the all‑time trough of 63.22 % in 1978, reaching an all‑time peak of 117.80 % in 2003 before stabilising above the universal‑access threshold. Compared with peers, Dominica’s 2025 figure slightly exceeds Switzerland’s 102.44 % and trails the United Arab Emirates’ 103.17 %, indicating that the country now competes with high‑performing education systems despite its small size. The sustained expansion reflects continued public investment and policy reforms aimed at universal secondary education, yet the modest decline from the 2003 peak suggests capacity constraints or demographic shifts. If current reforms that target teacher quality and school infrastructure are maintained, the enrollment rate is likely to remain above 100 % and could edge closer to the levels observed in the United Arab Emirates and Colombia in the near future.
