Lithuania’s primary‑school enrollment has remained slightly above universal levels for the past 25 years, standing at 100.54 % in 2025, which places the country 82nd in the world. After a low of 99.50 % in 2008, enrollment rose steadily, reaching an all‑time peak of 106.41 % in 2017 before easing back toward the 2025 figure. This pattern mirrors the experience of several peers; for example, Germany recorded 100.66 % in the same year, while Thailand posted 100.73 %. The post‑2008 recovery reflects Lithuania’s continued investment in compulsory education and demographic shifts that have kept school‑age children within the enrolment base. Although the recent modest decline from the 2017 high suggests a stabilization around the universal threshold, further policy emphasis on early‑childhood outreach and migration management could sustain or modestly improve the upward trajectory in the coming years.
