Overview
Equatorial Guinea's primary completion rate stood at 32.64% in 2015, a decline of +3.13pp from 2012. Equatorial Guinea ranked 132nd globally.
Equatorial Guinea’s primary completion rate fell from its all‑time peak of 37.33 % in 1994 to a trough of 26.54 % in 2003, before climbing modestly to 32.64 % in 2015, a level that placed the country 132nd worldwide. Over the ten‑year span covered by the data, the rate has remained well below those of its closest peers, with Chad at 37.42 % and Mali at 47.41 % in the same period. The decline in the early 2000s coincided with broader fiscal pressures and limited public investment in education, while the slight recovery after 2003 reflects incremental policy reforms and increased donor support for school infrastructure. Nevertheless, the gap with neighboring countries suggests that sustained financing, teacher training and curriculum improvements are needed to lift completion rates further. If such measures are expanded, the upward trajectory observed since 2003 could accelerate, narrowing the disparity with regional counterparts.
