School enrollment, primary (% gross) SE.PRM.ENRR

Overview
Fiji's primary enrollment stood at 110.21% in 2025, a decline of +0.17pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 110.21% by 2025. Fiji ranked 31st globally.
Fiji’s primary school enrollment rate has risen steadily over the 49‑year series, moving from a low of 93.11 % in 2009 to an all‑time peak of 114.93 % in 2021, and reaching 110.21 % in 2025, which places the nation 31st globally. The upward trajectory reflects sustained investment in universal primary education and effective implementation of compulsory schooling policies that began in the early 2000s. Compared with regional peers, Fiji’s 2025 figure is slightly below Kenya’s 111.23 % and St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ 111.32 %, but remains higher than Mauritania’s 108.67 %, underscoring its relatively strong performance in the Pacific and African contexts. The consistent improvement suggests that further reductions in dropout rates and continued expansion of school infrastructure could push enrollment beyond the 2021 peak, especially if fiscal allocations to education are maintained or increased.
