Overview
Hungary's secondary enrollment stood at 105.17% in 2025, a decline of +0.25pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 105.17% by 2025. Hungary ranked 41st globally.
Hungary's secondary enrollment rate has experienced fluctuations over the past quarter century, with a notable peak in 2013 when it reached 107.07% of the relevant age group. This period of high enrollment was followed by a decline, with the rate dipping to a trough of 95.94% in 2004. Since then, Hungary's secondary enrollment rate has gradually increased, reaching 105.17% in 2025, making it comparable to peer countries such as Slovenia, which has maintained a similar rate. The country's progress in this area is a positive development, given that education is a crucial factor in human capital development and economic growth. A continuation of this trend would likely be driven by sustained investment in education infrastructure and policies aimed at increasing access to secondary education, particularly for disadvantaged groups. However, a decline in government spending on education or a shift in demographic trends could potentially alter the trajectory of Hungary's secondary enrollment rate.
