School enrollment, secondary (% gross) SE.SEC.ENRR
Israel's secondary enrollment was 96.80% in 2025, ranked 78th globally. This represents a 0.3% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Israel's secondary enrollment stood at 96.80% in 2025, a rise of +0.33pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 96.80% by 2025. Israel ranked 78th globally.
Israel’s secondary school enrollment has slipped from a high of 99.27 % in 2002 to a low of 95.04 % in 2008, before stabilising at 96.80 % in 2025, placing the country 78th worldwide. The early‑2000s peak reflected strong public investment in education, while the 2008 trough coincided with the global financial crisis and domestic budget constraints that reduced school‑age participation. Over the 25‑year span, enrollment has remained above 95 % but shows a modest downward drift, now marginally lower than Mexico’s 96.91 % and Korea’s 96.16 % and slightly above Macao SAR’s 95.78 %. The persistent gap between the 2002 peak and the 2025 figure suggests that policy measures such as targeted subsidies for low‑income families or expanded vocational pathways could be required to reverse the slight decline and bring Israel back toward its earlier near‑universal levels.
