School enrollment, secondary (% gross) SE.SEC.ENRR
Latvia's secondary enrollment was 100.40% in 2025, ranked 63rd globally. This represents a 1.7% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Latvia's secondary enrollment stood at 100.40% in 2025, a decline of +1.73pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.40% by 2025. Latvia ranked 63rd globally.
Latvia’s secondary‑school enrollment rate has risen steadily over the past quarter‑century, moving from a low of 90.07 % in 2000 to a peak of 114.78 % in 2013, before moderating to 100.39 % in 2025, which places the country 63rd in the world. The post‑peak adjustment reflects a broader regional pattern in which several European peers have converged around the 100 % threshold; for example, Italy recorded 100.45 % and Germany 100.38 % in the same year. The long‑term upward trajectory indicates that Latvia has largely achieved universal secondary education, yet the slight decline from the 2013 high suggests demographic shifts and possible saturation of the school‑age population. Continued policy emphasis on retaining students through to graduation, combined with measures to address any emerging gaps in rural access, will be crucial to sustain or improve the current level of enrollment in the coming years.
