Overview
Haiti's secondary enrollment stood at 17.17% in 1986, a rise of +0.05pp from 1984. Haiti ranked 67th globally.
Haiti’s secondary school enrollment rose from 11.54 % in 1979 to a peak of 17.17 % in 1986, a modest increase of 5.63 percentage points over the seven‑year span. The 1986 figure places the country at 67th in the world, just below peers such as Sierra Leone (17.38 %) and Malawi (17.44 %) and above The Gambia (15.26 %). The upward movement reflects limited expansion of public secondary capacity during a period of political instability and fiscal constraints, yet the absolute level remains low compared with regional averages. The narrow gain suggests that gains in enrollment were constrained by inadequate infrastructure, recurring natural disasters, and persistent poverty, which together limited the ability to sustain higher participation rates. If Haiti can secure sustained investment in school construction, teacher training, and conditional cash‑transfer programs, the modest upward trajectory could be amplified, potentially moving the nation closer to the enrollment levels of its higher‑ranking peers.
