The upward trajectory accelerated after the all‑time trough of 9.85 % in 2006, reflecting sustained investment in higher‑education capacity and broader access policies. Luxembourg’s 2025 rate matches Turkmenistan’s 22.67 % and is only slightly below Sri Lanka’s 22.61 %, indicating convergence with peers that have similarly expanded post‑secondary participation. The persistent rise suggests that, barring major fiscal constraints or demographic shifts, enrolment is likely to continue climbing, potentially pushing Luxembourg into the top‑hundred rankings in the next few years.
