Overview
Jordan's secondary enrollment stood at 92.50% in 2025, a rise of +0.75pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 92.50% by 2025. Jordan ranked 94th globally.
Jordan’s secondary school enrollment rose from 83.64 % in 2002 to an all‑time peak of 92.50 % in 2025, placing the country 94th globally and marginally below peers such as Morocco (92.55 %) and Bolivia (92.61 %). The 8.86‑percentage‑point increase over 21 years reflects sustained investment in education infrastructure and reforms aimed at universal secondary attendance, coinciding with broader regional efforts to expand human capital. While the upward trajectory has been steady, the gap with the top‑ranking peer Thailand (92.09 %) suggests room for further gains, particularly in rural outreach and gender parity. Continued fiscal commitment, coupled with policies that address dropout drivers such as labor market pressures, will be critical to maintain the positive momentum and push enrollment beyond the current ceiling.
