Overview
Honduras's secondary enrollment stood at 50.61% in 2025, a decline of +1.15pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 50.61% by 2025. Honduras ranked 148th globally.
Honduras’ secondary school enrollment has risen from a low of 12.27 % in 1970 to 50.61 % in 2025, placing the country 148th in the world. The upward trajectory accelerated after the 1990s, reaching an all‑time peak of 66.17 % in 2010 before a modest decline to the current level. Compared with peer nations of similar rank, Honduras trails Papua New Guinea’s 53.18 % and is close to Lao PDR’s 50.54 % in 2025, while remaining below Zambia’s 57.09 % and Nigeria’s 49.62 % despite the latter’s slightly lower figure. The 35‑year coverage shows that expansion of public secondary education and conditional cash‑transfer programmes contributed to the gains, yet fiscal constraints and uneven rural access have limited further progress. Sustained investment in school infrastructure and targeted subsidies for disadvantaged groups could reverse the recent dip and push enrollment toward the 66 % benchmark achieved in 2010.
