Overview
Greece's primary enrollment stood at 104.16% in 2025, a rise of +2.14pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 104.16% by 2025. Greece ranked 52nd globally.
Greece’s primary school enrollment rate has risen steadily over the 23‑year series, moving from 102.31 % in 2000 to an all‑time high of 104.16 % in 2025, the latest figure that places the country 52nd worldwide. The trough in the series occurred in 2002 when enrollment fell to 93.63 %, after which a persistent upward trajectory resumed, reflecting expanded access and compulsory‑education policies. By 2025 Greece’s rate marginally trails the Slovak Republic’s 104.52 % and is slightly below Costa Rica’s 104.36 %, indicating that Greece performs comparably with other high‑enrollment economies. The continued improvement suggests that demographic stability and sustained public investment in schooling are likely to keep the enrollment rate above the 100 % threshold, although any significant fiscal tightening or demographic shift could temper the upward momentum.
