Overview
Dominica's tertiary enrollment stood at 6.95% in 1993, a decline of +2.01pp from 1992. Dominica ranked 27th globally.
Dominica’s tertiary enrollment rose sharply from 0.75 % in 1981 to a peak of 8.96 % in 1992, before settling at 6.95 % in 1993, a level that placed the nation 27th worldwide. The rapid expansion during the 1980s and early 1990s reflects substantial investment in higher‑education infrastructure and scholarship programmes, while the modest decline after the 1992 peak suggests constraints such as limited university capacity and competing fiscal priorities. Compared with regional peer Trinidad and Tobago, whose 1993 tertiary enrollment stood at 7.22 %, Dominica’s figure remains slightly lower, yet it exceeds Brunei Darussalam’s 5.81 % and is close to Guatemala’s 8.25 %. The all‑time trough of 0.67 % in 1984 underscores how far the system has progressed within a seven‑year span. Continued diversification of academic offerings and stronger linkages with the private sector could sustain upward momentum, potentially returning enrollment to early‑1990s levels.
