Overview
Eritrea's secondary enrollment stood at 41.50% in 2025, a decline of +2.54pp from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 41.50% by 2025. Eritrea ranked 155th globally.
Eritrea's secondary enrollment rate has shown a mixed trend over the past 26 years. Starting from a low of 24.27% in 1993, the rate began to rise and peaked at 53.12% in 2006. However, the rate has since declined, reaching 41.50% in 2025, ranking 155 globally. Compared to its peer countries, Eritrea's rate is lower than Senegal's 44.69% and Guatemala's 46.99%, but higher than the Syrian Arab Republic's 39.07% and Cameroon's 38.72%. The decline from the peak in 2006 suggests that efforts to improve secondary education enrollment may have been hindered by various factors, including economic constraints and demographic changes. A sustained commitment to education investment and reforms could potentially reverse this trend and improve Eritrea's secondary enrollment rate, but the country's ongoing economic challenges and demographic pressures will need to be addressed in order to achieve this goal.
