Gibraltar’s secondary school enrollment rate stands at 64.13 % in 2025, placing it 138th in the world and closely matching Bangladesh’s 64.58 % and El Salvador’s 62.97 % for the same year. The territory’s enrollment trajectory has been volatile: after a high of 79.21 % in 1971, the rate fell to a trough of 61.03 % in 1972, then surged to an all‑time peak of 132.46 % in 2017, before retreating to the current level. The 29‑year coverage of data shows that the post‑peak decline has been steady, reflecting possible demographic shifts, policy changes, or capacity constraints in the education system. Compared with peers such as Côte d’Ivoire (67.15 %) and Lebanon (62.24 %), Gibraltar remains slightly below the regional average, suggesting room for improvement. If the government strengthens secondary‑education financing and expands school infrastructure, the downward trend could be arrested and enrollment may begin to rise again in the coming years.
