Overview
Lebanon's secondary enrollment stood at 62.24% in 2025, a decline of +1.55pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 62.24% by 2025. Lebanon ranked 140th globally.
Lebanon’s secondary enrollment rate has risen from a low of 40.20 % in 1971 to 62.24 % in 2025, placing the country at 140th in the world and just below peers such as El Salvador (62.97 %) and Angola (60.68 %). The upward trajectory peaked in 2011 when enrollment reached 73.83 %, a level that has not been sustained; the all‑time trough occurred in 1973 at 40.09 %, reflecting the severe disruptions of the civil war era. Over the 40‑year coverage period, Lebanon’s progress has been uneven, with periods of stagnation offset by modest gains after the early 2000s. The recent figure of 62.24 % suggests a gradual recovery, yet the gap with the 2011 peak indicates structural challenges in the education system. Continued investment in school infrastructure and reforms to reduce gender and regional disparities will be critical to maintain the current upward trend and move the enrollment rate closer to its historic high.
