Overview
Kazakhstan's secondary enrollment stood at 97.62% in 2025, a rise of +0.42pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 98.61% by 2026. Kazakhstan ranked 75th globally.
Kazakhstan’s secondary enrollment rate has risen steadily since the early 1980s, moving from 92.27 % in 1981 to a peak of 99.61 % in 1986, before slipping to a low of 86.01 % in 1998 amid the post‑Soviet transition. The subsequent recovery has been robust, reaching 97.62 % in 2025, which places the country 75th globally and just below peers such as Uzbekistan (98.12 %) and Tuvalu (97.86 %). The 29‑year coverage period reflects a long‑term commitment to universal secondary education, with the most recent figures indicating near‑universal participation. Continued policy emphasis on school infrastructure, teacher training and rural outreach will be crucial to sustain the upward trajectory and potentially push Kazakhstan above the 98 % threshold in the coming years.
