Despite its relatively high enrollment rate in the early years, Honduras has struggled to maintain stability and has been surpassed by several peer countries, including Qatar, which boasts a rate of 79.58%. Lesotho, another peer, has a lower rate of 78.09%, highlighting the challenges faced by Honduras in this area. The latest available data indicates a primary enrollment rate of 79.36% in 2025.
